We have published more than 2,100 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a good range of maps in Scotland. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. Each covers an area of a mile and a half by a mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area. Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop where further information about titles is given. Or visit The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.
Here are the details of maps for Oban:
This very detailed map is double-sided for maximum coverage. The main map covers most of the town centre, with coverage extending from Barr Cruinn southward to Loch a Mhuilinn, and inland to the unfinished Hydropathic. Features include station, goods station, Railway Quay, North Pier, South Pier, Manor House, St Columba's RC Pro Cathedral, Royal Hotel, numerous other hotels named, churches etc. This map is most unusual in being contoured. On the reverse we include a part of adjacent sheet 98.11, extending coverage south, including Glenmore Wood, Altnacraig, McKelvie Isolation Hospital, Soroba Farm, High School.
