1:10000 three colour orienteering map of Holyrood Park (Black, blue, brown) Open is mapped as white.
Grassed over quarry workings behind Salisbury Crags. There are some young trees on the right and a view towards a big hill with a notch like pass on its right. The hill has a lot of scrub vegetation. Into winter sunlight
Bill Gauld's #HolyroodPark, 1975. A map which was used for many years. When surveyed, the park was still grazed. Fewer whins and not many trees. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Edinburgh #Orienteering #Maps #EUOC
Woodland in Winter. Little ground vegetation, there are exposed rocks on the right and damage from an open fire on the left. There is a hint of a big drop off in the background. Hermitage, north side of gorge.

The southern three quarters of a very fine scribed orienteering map by Harvey's Map Services. Mostly green, quite a brutal forest. Much of the area seems not to be used now, only the more runnable south near Aberfoyle. Green with fine lines - a beautiful map.
Sunlit forestry plantation with a ride down the centre of the image. All Sitka spruce
Achray 1979. Chopped in two - the big part of the map was used for the individual Scottish Championships and the northern bit the relay run by #EUOC . Harveys made it for the 6 days. #OldOrienteeringMaps #OrienteeringMaps #FVO #Trossachs #Perthshire
