We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints; this includes more than a hundred in Scotland, with a growing range of maps around Glasgow. 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.

Our detailed map covers much of it, with coverage extending from Drive Road and Elder Park eastward to Princes Dock, and from Govan Wharf and the Govan Ferry southward to Ibrox Park. Features on the map include part of the Clyde, with Canning Basin, Yorkhill Quays, Outer Basin (part), Govan Yard with graving docks, Govan Branch railway with Govan station, Princes Dock Joint Railway, town centre around Govan Cross, Drumoyne Siding, tramways, several other industrial and shipbuilding premises.
