[Berwickshire, Roxburghshire, Scotland, Tweed River]
Description
A map showing most of Berwickshire, from the Lammermuirs in the north, to the River Tweed in the south and the Leader Water in the west, including the catchments of the Whiteadder and Blackadder Waters, together with small parts of Roxburgh and East Lothian. The map provides a unique record of the densely populated lower Tweed, with many churches, mills and castles. The depiction of a routeway is particularly unusual on maps of this time. The map was compiled from observation on the ground by Timothy Pont in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. It was one of the first such drafts by Pont to be engraved in Amsterdam, for publication in Blaeu's Atlas Novus, first published in 1654.

[Elgin Shire, Findhorn River, Forres, Inverness, Loch Spynie, Moray Firth, Morayshire, Nairn Shire, Scotland, Spey River, Tain]
Description
A map of the lands around the Moray Firth, with the greatest detail in the counties of Moray, Nairn and the northeast of Inverness, but also including the Black Isle and a small part of Easter Ross north of the Cromarty Firth. The detail around the Loch of Spynie, north of Elgin, is of particular interest. The formal layout of the Bog Of Gight on the east bank of the Spey post-dates Pont's field work. The map was engraved in Amsterdam for Blaeu's 'Atlas Novus', first published in 1654. The engravers copied a draft by Robert Gordon of Straloch, who drew largely on an earlier manuscript map by Timothy Pont which survives in the National Library of Scotland.

[Dumfriesshire, Nithsdale, Scotland]
Description
This map was first published in Blaeu's 'Atlas Novus', in 1654. It was engraved in Amsterdam from a manuscript draft by Timothy Pont, which was returned to Scotland and is now in the National Library of Scotland. The area covered on this map is bounded by the watershed of the River Nith, thus showing all of Nithsdale from Dalmellington to the Solway Firth. It is oriented with west at the top. The detail of a dense distribution of rural settlement is evident, particularly along the Shinnel Water and the River Cairn, both west-bank tributaries of the Nith. Criffel was omitted by the engravers but the bridge over the Nith at Dumfries is shown.

[Clyde River, Renfrewshire, Scotland]
Description
This map shows Renfrewshire, bounded by the River Clyde and the White Cart River in the east, and by the watershed boundary with Cunningham to the south. The map is remarkable for its very high rural settlement density and for the elaborate engraved devices to some locate places prominently, places such as Paisley and its Abbey adjacent. The map was engraved in Amsterdam from a manuscript draft prepared by Robert Gordon of Straloch, whose source was a late sixteenth century manuscript map by Timothy Pont which is now in the National Library of Scotland. The engraving was first published in Blaeu's Atlas Novus, in 1654. A blank cartouche and shield were prepared in anticipation of a dedication.
