This complex manuscript
contains 4 maps together with a substantial amount of text. The front
of the sheet has 2 maps of South Uist, Pont <36>(1) and (2) and
a map of Inverkeithing, Pont <36> (3). Pont <36>(1) shows
part of the island of South Uist in the Western Isles, south of a line
joining Verran Island and Loch Altabrug in the west and Corodale Bay in
the east. Thus, south is towards the bottom margin. To the left of this
lies Pont <36>(2) depicting a small map of the area of the southwest
coast of South Uist around the settlements of Baysdale (Boisdale)
and Smeircleat. To the right lies Pont <36>(3) showing the town
and Bay of Inverkeithing in Fife. This is a very small but detailed sketch
of this town and its harbour on the north coast of the Firth of Forth.
On the reverse side of the sheet, Pont <36> (back), is a map of
Linlithgow and West Lothian, Pont <36>(4).
