Mapland
Scotland is an incredible learning environment – a massive
topographical map of Scotland that is completely walkover.
We bring Mapland to your school and run hands-on interactive programs
where pupils learn, discover and participate giving an
experience that is unforgettable.
Mapland is a unique all-school resource that appeals to all ages of
primary and secondary school pupils. It is a highly memorable
experience that makes geography come alive right in your
school…….putting Mapland together is a giant
jigsaw
puzzle in itself!
