Mapping for Business or Planning Application
If you are planning a home extension or carrying out a small building project, you will need to apply for planning permission from your local authority.
We are delighted to announce that we have been approved by eDevelopment.scot to be one of their official planning map suppliers as of September 2023.
Using only the most up to date Ordnance Survey data available we can supply properly licensed Ordnance Survey mapping in both paper and electronic formats. To start making your map you simply need to put the relevant postcode in the box above.
To comply with OS Licencing we need some basic information from you before you can access the most detailed mapping. This information is not used for marketing of any kind.

Tourist Mapping
Tourist Maps from Nicolson Digital feature our distinctive style of clear, easy-to-read mapping with tourist attractions, clear road mapping, layer tints and an index to both place names and major tourist attractions.
The latest addition to this range is the Scottish Whisky Distilleries Map – a clear, detailed map showing whisky distilleries both with visitor facilities and production only. An enlarged inset of Speyside along with mileage pins, fascinating facts, glorious photographs, a poem and a foreword from Blair Bowman means that this is a must to add to your collection.
Our best-selling Tourist Map of Scotland features clear road mapping, tourist attractions, long distance touring routes and National Parks. All of Scotland on a single side at a scale of 1:480,000 with an index of towns and main tourist attractions on the back.
The Tourist Maps include Argyll & Bute, Caithness & Sutherland, Dumfries & Galloway, Islay, Jura & Colonsay, Isle of Mull, Isle of Skye, Orkney, Outer Hebrides and Shetland.
The North Coast Journey map is the most detailed folding paper map available of the popular 500 mile tourist route around the north coast of Scotland.
Our Road Map series is a replacement for the old Ordnance Survey Road Maps, based on the Ordnance Survey 1:250,000 data. Excellent maps for route planning and touring alike.
Street Mapping
Our street maps are available as either a fold out paper map or in book format as a street atlas. The ‘wee blue’ Street Guide range covers many towns and villages in Scotland.
Since 2016 we have released new mapping for Aberdeen, Ayrshire, Carlisle, Dumfries & Galloway, East Kilbride, Fife, Glasgow, Inverness, Stirling and Moray & Speyside.
