As such, the map shows a number of small settlements such as Glendorch and Snar. Here, small bastle (fortified farm houses) were built. The owners eked out a meagre living from sheep farming. Some, however, did try to make their fortune out of gold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev Timothy Pont (c. 1560\u2013c.1627) was a Scottish minister, cartographer and topographer. He was the first to produce a detailed map of Scotland.
