Description
The map shows southwest Sutherland plus southern Strath Oykel and Strath Carron. The cartouche is incomplete, as it was one of the last maps to be engraved in Amsterdam for publication in Blaeu's Atlas Novus, first published in 1654. Not only are the coastlands around Dornoch, Golspie and Brora densely settled, but in contrast to today, the inland straths (Strath Carron, Strath Fleet, Strath Brora) are also well populated. The map was compiled from observation on the ground by Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century.

[Scotland, Strath Naver, Sutherland]
Description
The map covers much more than Strath Naver. It shows the north coast of Sutherland and its hinterland straths, from Strath Halladale to the Kyle of Durness. The map is unusual in including some of the descriptions which appeared on the manuscript source map. For example, Loch Eriboll has 'A holl of 180 fathoms deep'. Information inland is sparse, by comparison with the detail on the coast. The manuscript draft source of this map was compiled by Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. It was sent to Amsterdam but was returned to Scotland and is now in the National Library of Scotland. The engraving was first published in Blaeu's Atlas Novus, in 1654.

[Roxburghshire, Scotland, Teviotdale, Tweed River]
Description
A map of Teviotdale, bounded to the northeast by the River Tweed from Carham and Kelso to Melrose, including the catchments of the River Teviot, the Ale Water, the Ettrick Water below Gamescleuch, the Yarrow Water below the Loch of Lowes and a stretch of the Tweed above Galashiels.
