Scotland itmb Travel Map

Anyone who has been in this business for a few years remembers Ordnance Survey and their brilliantly detailed artwork. They should also remember that OS guarded this artwork religiously. That all changed when the then head of government in the UK, one soon-forgotten Gordon Brown, decreed that commercial OS artwork had to be discontinued and artwork had to be made more freely available to users. I expected an outpouring of new artwork by private UK firms. It didn’t happen; in fact, the range of travel maps decreased dramatically. However, OS artwork is still an excellent source of mapping artwork. This is a wonderful double-sided, detailed map of Scotland. It is both extremely detailed and accurate. We have added symbols for parks, historic sites, battlefields, country hotels, and anything else that we think would interest visitors. In order to portray Scotland to best scale advantage, the only inset included with this map are those of outlying islands, such as the Shetlands. ITMB also publishes a separate, less detailed map of Scotland on one side with Edinburgh of the other side. The new Scotland map has also been upgraded to being printed on plastic paper for durability. It also makes a good umbrella for when the Scotch mist falls! By the way, our forthcoming map of England and Wales should be available in about two months. 

Map size: 27*39” 

Scotland at 1:370,000 on a light, waterproof and tear-resistant, double-sided map from the Vancouver-based ITMB, with altitude colouring to show its topography. Coverage of the southern side of the map extends from south of Newcastle/Sunderland and Carlisle to Fort William, with the rest of Scotland on the reverse with a small overlap between the sides. 

Topography is shown by altitude colouring with spot heights and names of mountain ranges, peaks, etc; national parks are highlighted. The map shows Scotland’s road and railway networks, indicating driving distances on main and selected secondary routes. Also marked are ferry routes to the islands. Symbols indicate various places of interest, including historical sites, selected campsites and in remote areas hotels, etc. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 1º intervals. Each side has a separate index
