A Striking Ordnance Survey Map of Scotland’s Rugged Outer Hebrides
Celebrate the raw beauty, Gaelic heritage, and windswept solitude of Scotland’s Western Isles with this stunning wall map drawn from official Ordnance Survey data.

Perfect for classrooms, offices, council chambers, or lovers of Scotland’s remote corners, the map highlights the Western Isles in full colour while fading the surrounding regions to direct your focus entirely to the isles themselves.
