I know there's some cartography nerds out there (I'm looking at you Scotroutes)
Asides from bog standard road/touring maps of Scotland. Does anyone know where I can get a high quality, large (maybe 1.5m to 2m tall)map of Scotland with minimal information printed onto it. At most maybe councils and principle cities?
Kind Regards

😀
Do it properly, build one out of concrete in your garden.
What you want to do is, get a hundred metre tall map of the UK, in weather forcast style. That way you'll get a map of Scotland about 2 metres tall.

This...
You could knock one up as two A0 sheets using Quantum GIS and the OSM layer as a web service.
You'd then need to get the sheets printed at a local reprographics place.
Or you could get a vector file - something like this http://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photography-scotland-map-highly-detailed-vector-administrative-regions-main-cities-roads-image36015012
And create a couple of A0 powerpoint slides to do the same thing
NZCOL...like the Polish Map of Scotland...just by Glentress.
I believe this is the current situation.

Ooh, that looks handy. Thanks, wemay well get something printing specifically for the task. So could be a winner if I find the right image. Vector graphics are fine.
Get a normal sized one and stand closer to it?
@lemony - that's excellent (#11 Edinburgh - basically England 🙂 )
@hilldodger, in the UK we count votes by number not by land area.
