Description:
A framed map of Renfrewshire and the north shore of the Firth of Clyde, with most of the detail between Glasgow, Johnstone and Bishopton. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. The content derives entirely from a manuscript map by Timothy Pont now in the National Library of Scotland and compiled from observations on the ground in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. It is probably the second but incomplete copy of a draft map sent to Amsterdam for engraving under the title of Renfroana, before publication in Blaeu's important 'Atlas Novus' of 1654.
