Landscape Map of Scotland

The map reflects the great diversity of landscapes within the country, and the regional distinctiveness which that creates. Together with the accompanying descriptions and photographs, the areas identified should have a resonance with those who know these landscapes, and perhaps enable them to gain a feel for areas they don't know so well.

The project highlights what it is that gives familiar areas their distinctiveness and identity; suggests what might attract people to explore new areas; and should help instill a desire to ensure that the diversity of Scotland's landscapes is not diminished. It is about place at the broad scale.
