Western Scotland & Islands ITMB

$22.00

This map of Western Scotland & Islands by ITMB @ 1:250,000 is double sided.  It would have been more appropriately named as the Hebrides of Scotland, but the publishes worried that many people wouldn’t know that the dozens of islands of Scotland’s west coast are known locally as the Hebrides.  Side 1 concentrates on these islands, providing detailed coverage of Mull, Coll, Tiree, Rum, Skye (which is now connected to the mainland by a bridge), Uist, and Lewis.  Ferry routes to the Isles are also included.  Gaelic is still commonly used on these islands, so included are both English and Gaelic place names whenever practical, although how one pronounces Nah Eilannan an Iar (Lewis) is questionable.  Side 2 of the sheet covers the southern islands and peninsulas of Islay, Jura, Knapdale, Kintyre, and Arran as well as the Glasgow/Edinburgh urban areas.  Scotland is a very popular travel destination and becomes somewhat over-crowded in the summer months.  The islands tend to be less visited, though house a lot of hotels and B&Bs.  Did you know that Calgary, in Canada, is named after a small village on the Isle of Mull?  This is a very interesting and off-the-beaten-track travel destination, ignored by most other map publishers.
