A small scale map showing both the Clyde and the Tweed in entirety, compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661) at an unknown date after 1633. Detail is confined to the River Tweed above Carham, although including the tributary watershed areas of the Teviot Water and the Ettrick Water. The source of the compilation was the observations of Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. More detailed coverage by Pont of that part of the Borders can be found in a map entitled TVEDIA published by Blaeu in his Atlas Novus of 1654.
