We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including more than 100 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 Galashiels:
This detailed map captures the Scottish mill town of Galashiels. The sheetlines are not very kind as the town stretches diagonally across the western part of the map, but most of the town centre is covered here. Coverage stretches from Ladhope Cemetery and Low Buckholmside eastward and south to Abbots Mill. The Gala Water runs through the map and features include Gala Mill, Langhaugh Mill, Waverley Mill, St Paul's church, Old Town, Market Place, High Street, railway station, Ladhope House. To the NE the map has part of rural Roxburghshire, including Blaikie's Hill, Wester Hill and Langlee House. Selections from a Galashields trade directory of 1897 are included.
