Description: 
A small scale map extending from the Gare Loch and Loch Lomond in the west to the head of the Firth of Forth at Stirling in the east. The density of detail varies and is greatest around Falkirk and in the eastern hinterland of Glasgow. The prominent linear feature is the Roman wall. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. Much of the map derives from a manuscript map by Timothy Pont now in the National Library of Scotland and the source of the rest of the compilation is likely to be the observations of Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century.
