Description:
This manuscript map shows the drainage basins of the Rivers Tweed and Yarrow, and the Borthwick Water west of Melrose. It was drawn by John Adair, probably for the proposed Scottish atlas of Sir Robert Sibbald. It identifies major tributaries and feeder lochs but settlements are mostly restricted to those along the river valleys. Upland areas are noticeably empty and are dominated by hill drawings. A pecked line appears to delimit the sheriffdom boundary. A similar map, with the same title but drawn by Robert Gordon of Straloch, is in the papers of Sir Robert Sibbald, probably copied from an earlier Pont manuscript. The places names are identical and comparison suggests that Adair copied his map from the Gordon draft.
