Product Information

Scottish wildlife is abundant, from native species such as the elusive Scottish wildcat and capercaillie to beavers, which have been successfully reintroduced to Scotland at Knapdale Forest, Argyll. Other Scottish wildlife gems include red deer, pine marten, family- of birds of prey, and sea mammals, such as dolphins, porpoises and whales. You will be amazed, too, by the stunning sight of leaping salmon on Scotland’s many fish-rich rivers. Scotland is also a desirable haven for walkers of all aspirations, offering from the family-friendly river and lochside strolls to long-distance waymarked routes, such as the West Highland Way and the Southern Upland Way, as well as high-level mountain hikes for the more adventurous. There are ranges of gentler, rolling hills even in the central lowlands of Scotland. Such ranges include the Ochil Hills, near Stirling, the Campsie Fells outside Glasgow, and the Lomond Hills in Fife.

A heady mix of wild places and culture, Scotland is more than the sum of its parts: idyllic island beaches; raw and beautiful glens; untamed wildlife; historic cities. Whether you want to let your hair down at a folk music festival, sample oysters at Loch Fyne or seek solitude on a Munro, use our map of Scotland to start planning your trip. I myself prefer the use of paper roadmaps when I’m on the road in Scotland as they have the best detailed information and they also work without a smartphone, or a phone with a dead battery, or when there is no internet connection. There are a few good quality paper roadmaps available, I recommend using the Philip’s Navigator Scotland: (A4 Spiral binding) or the Visit Scotland Touring Map. If you go for the highest detail in localised maps there is nothing better than the Ordnance Survey Landranger Maps. These maps are super detailed, are great for exploring areas and are perfect for when you’re walking too.a b "Scotland's population continues to rise".

Ayrshire & Arran: Situated on Scotland’s west coast, Ayrshire and Arran is a region characterised by its varied coastlines, picturesque islands and unspoilt beaches. Nature is just the beginning of Ayrshire and Arran’s charms; magnificent castles, historic buildings, cultural attractions and proximity to Glasgow all make this beguiling region worth exploring. The Great Polish Map of Scotland” was built over six summers between 1974 and 1979. It was mainly the work of a small group of Poles. The Great Polish Map of Scotland measures some 50 metres by 40 metres and lies in an oval pit surrounded by a 142 metres long perimeter wall. Covering an area of 1590 square metres, it is understood to be the largest three-dimensional physical representation of a country and the largest outdoor relief map in the world In August 2010 the initial clean-up started. Category B-listed status was secured for the map in 2012. In September of the same year it was the subject of a debate in the Scottish Parliament sponsored by Christine Grahame MSPMean Temperatures Annual Average". Met Office. 2001.

This picturesque island chain is worth the effort to get there; go island hopping and discover a paradise of wild Atlantic waves, white sandy beaches, towering mountains and a vibrant cultural landscape. The land area of Scotland is 30,090 square miles (77,900km 2), 32% of the area of the United Kingdom (UK). The mainland of Scotland has 6,160 miles (9,910km) of coastline. It is often yet incorrectly stated that John o' Groats is the most northerly point of mainland Scotland. The pre-Union phrase "John o' Groats to Maidenkirk" was the Scottish equivalent of the British Land's End to John o' Groats.

Aberdeen& Aberdeenshire: From pristine beaches to crumbling castles, exciting cultural attractions to ancient maritime heritage, Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire is one of the most vibrant regions in Scotland. At its heart, the city of Aberdeen is a cosmopolitan hub and bustling commercial centre. Widely regarded as the ‘Oil Capital of Europe‘, Aberdeen’s proud heritage in the oil and gas industries has propelled it into the spotlight as a city of excellence where people worldwide come to explore and do business. Wales: To the west of England, Wales features rugged mountainous landscapes, particularly in the north and central regions, with the South Wales valleys and the coastal plains providing more level terrains. The highest peak in Wales, Mount Snowdon, reaches 1,085 m (3,560 ft) and is located in Snowdonia National Park. The United Kingdom is composed of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each possesses distinct geographical features and characteristics. England, the largest and most populous country, accounts for over half of the total area of the UK and is characterized by gently rolling hills and lowland plains, particularly in the central and eastern regions, and more mountainous terrain in the north and the west. Scotland is made up of magnificent mountains, atmospheric glens, dramatic coastlines, picturesque lochs and rivers and fabulous forestry: no wonder Scotland’s scenery has a reputation for being among the most spectacular in the world. Bodies of Water: The UK contains many significant bodies of water and river systems. The River Severn, originating in Wales and flowing through western England, stands as the longest river at 354 km (220 mi). Another important river, the Thames, flows through southern England, including London, and is a vital waterway for commerce and navigation.Main article: Demography of Scotland In northern and western areas, many people live in small crofting townships such as here on the Isle of Skye.
