Ten new maps for Edinburgh to be published in 2026-7
We plan to issue ten new maps for Edinburgh during the winter of 2026-27. These will all be taken from the
Ordnance Survey's early 5 foot (or 1:1056) plans, generally using the 1870s edition and will extend the present coverage as seen in our Edinburgh series.
These wonderfuly detailed maps will be reduced to 1:1760 or a Yard to the Mile. Each will have a 1:500 map from the 1890s on the reverse, together with a 2,000 word
introduction.
The first title is expected to be published in October and the rest will be published,
normally two maps at a time, within about six months. The lead author will be Alan Godfrey. The group will help us strengthen our coverage of a city that was at the forefront
of the Godfrey Edition when we began in the early 1980s and follows ten similar maps published for the area during 2025.
Subscriptions give an excellent discount, and also support us in our mission to cover as many towns and villages as possible. Each map will include
a specially written 2,000 word introduction. Maps are normally sent to subscribers, postage free, a few days before publication. A subscription costs just
£ 35.00 for the ten new maps, a substantial saving on the normal price. There is a Earlybird offer of £ 30 until the end of August.
Note that this subscription is essentially for the new maps, not those already available. For those maps for the area already published, visit the
relevant Edinburgh page. This special offer is for UK customers only. We hope you will join us in subscribing to our new Edinburgh
maps and supporting this continuing project. Quite simply, the more maps we sell, and the more subscribers we have, the more we can publish!
An Edinburgh subscription costs just £ 35.00 for the next 10 maps with an Earlybird offer of £ 30.00 until the end of August.
Subscriptions can be placed through our On-line Mapshop or by contacting our office in the usual way.
