Mapland
is the
largest map of Scotland ever produced! It is made up of adjoined
Ordnance Survey
topographical maps
at the 1:50000 scale (Landranger
series) in large jigsaw pieces covering the whole of Scotland -
including ALL the islands. Islands such as St Kilda are in their
correct locations and not as insets.
The jigsaw pieces are made of lightweight plastic of dimensions 0.7 m
by 1 m. There are 167 jigsaw pieces making up Mapland Scotland.
Space
requirements: a
flat indoor surface (preferably a hard floor) of dimensions 11
m by
8 m, plus another 2.5 m by 1.7 m for Shetland. This is
approximately
the size of a badminton court and Mapland is suitable for setting up
in school and village halls, sports and exhibition
centres.
Mapland as a jigsaw design is fully modular and portable.
