Description
This map shows Louis Petit's scheme to build a fort at Perth, as a consequence of the town having been taken by the armies of James Francis Edward Stuart, early in the 1715 rising, and held by them until the end of the rising. The plan for the new fort was never put into action. The map also shows the site of the seventeenth century Crowmellian fort (Perth then being called St. Johnston's).

Description
A large map of the eastern lowlands of Scotland from the River Don in Aberdeenshire to the Borders, but also stretching westwards to the coast between Loch Leven and Loch Craignish. In the west, only the coastline appears. In central Scotland, little more than the main drainage lines are depicted but in the east, there is much detail of the Borders, the Lothians, Fife, parts of the Tay catchment and the River Dee. The map is an uncompleted draft compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. The main source of the compilation is likely to be the observations of Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century.

Description
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.

Description
An incomplete map of Dumfries and Galloway, compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. Most of the detail is in the western half of the map, that is, west of Kenmure. The source of the compilation was the observations on the ground of Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. Many of the idiosyncrasies of the coastal outline can also be seen in a map entitled GALLOVIDIA published in Amsterdam by J. Blaeu in his 'Atlas Novus' of 1654 and credited to Pont.

There is settlement detail on the north shore of Loch Tay, beneath Ben Lawers, and along the valley of the Tummel, but elsewhere there is only an irregular distribution of hills and streams. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. The main source of the compilation is likely to be the observations of Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century.

Description
A map of the Mull of Kintyre to the south of Tarbert and of the island of Gigha. It was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. The sole source of the compilation is the observations of Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. This is evident from the comparison of Gordon's neat manuscript map with Blaeu's engraved map of Cantyra, published in his Atlas Novus in 1654 and clearly credited to Pont by the engraver. Both Gordon's and Blaeu's maps derive from the same source by Pont, but Gordon's map is slightly inferior in respect of numbers of place-names.

[Ayr, Ayrshire, Carrick, Cunningham District, Cunninghame, Dumfries, Kyle, Scotland, Scotland - southwest coast]
Description
An incomplete manuscript map of southwest Scotland, from Irvine in the northwest to Annan in the southeast. It was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. The detail is almost entirely confined to South Ayrshire, from the River Irvine in the north to the southern watershed of the River Stinchair in the south. The source of the compilation was the observations of Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. Greater detail of South Ayrshire, as recorded by Pont, can be found on maps entitled CARRICTA MERIDIONALIS and CARICTA BOREALIS published by J. Blaeu in his 'Atlas Novus' published in Amsterdam in 1654.

Description
A small scale map of North Ayrshire, Inverclyde and adjacent parts of Renfrewshire, stretching as far south as Irvine, and showing only drainage and a small number of settlements. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. The lochs adjacent to Lochwinnoch and Kilbirnie are drawn again at the foot of the sheet. The source of the compilation was the observations of Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. The map is an extreme example of Robert Gordon's tendency to reduce the scale of Pont's compilations.

Description
The larger of the two maps on this sheet covers northwest Fife, west of Falkland and mostly north of the River Eden. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. The source of the compilation was the observations of Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century, but it is evident from notes on the map that Gordon was critical of his source. The smaller map, pasted on to the larger sheet, shows northwest Fife between Elcho Castle and Balmerino Abbey, as far as south as Wedersbie Hill, Mount Hill and Mountquhaine House. It was compiled by Timothy Pont from observations on the ground in the late sixteenth century.
