This is the front of
the manuscript called Pont 4. Six small maps, known as Pont 4(1) to Pont
4(6) occur on it. The back of the sheet contains a seventh map, Pont 4(7).
Pont 4(1) covers an area to the south west of Loch Broom, including Little
Loch Broom, Gruinard Bay, Loch na Sealga (meaning 'Loch of the
Hunting'), and the valley of the River Lael. Pont 4(2) focuses on L:
Carron (Loch Carron) and Glen Carron. Pont 4(3) is a small map of
the coast between L. Eu (Loch Ewe) and Loch Torridon. Pont 4(4)
contains profiles of several mountains between Loch Torridon and Loch
Maree, probably drawn by Pont from their north side. These include Bin
cherkyrr (Beinn a' Chearcaill), Bin Eoin (Beinn an E~in), and Bin Wreck (Beinn Bhreac). Pont 4(5) and Pont 4(6) are two small
maps of the islands in Loch Maree as indicated by Pont's names yl:
Mulruy and y. Mulray (Isle Maree). These islands, situated north of
Talladale, include Eilean Súbhainn.
Part of this area is described in the related Pont texts.
