The peninsula stretches about 30 miles, from the Mull of Kintyre in the south to East Loch Tarbert in the north. This map was based on the work of Timothy Pont. Pont surveyed Scotland between 1595 and 1608. Unfortunately, Pont's maps were not published during his lifetime. This map appeared in Blaeu's atlas Scotland. A handsome map.
