Edinburgh Subscription

Ten new maps for Edinburgh to be published in 2025

  • We plan to issue ten new maps for Edinburgh during 2025. These will all be taken from the Ordnance Survey's early 5 foot (or 1:1056) plans, generally using the 1870s edition. 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. This follows the success of similar maps being published for London and Greater Manchester and builds on the five large scale plans already available in our Edinburgh series.
  • The first title is expected to be published on 6th May but will be sent to subscribers about 10 days earlier. The rest will be published, normally two maps at a time, within the year. 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 maps published for the area during 2024.

    The first map is expected to be for Lauriston and The Meadows. Here is a Slideshow of snaps taken by Alan Godfrey while walking round the area.

  • 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 £ 30.00 for the ten new maps, a substantial saving on the normal price.
  • 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 £ 30.00 for the next 10 maps.
  • Subscriptions can be placed through our On-line Mapshop or by contacting our office in the usual way.
