Description:
This plan of part of the river Spey was surveyed by Alexander McGill and engraved by John Senex in 1727. It is coloured green for the areas of the inlet where water lies at all times. Gravel bars are indicated by stippling. It shows the lower Spey from its mouth at Garmouth and was originally drawn for a dispute regarding fishing rights, which are detailed in the key. An inset map of the river mouth shows the bay at high water. A year after it was drawn, the map was reused as paper for journal entries for the 24-28 June 1728. The writing is difficult to read, but from the words which can be deciphered it appears unrelated to the map.
