Hiya,

This is an excellent free site...

The Historic Land-use Assessment is an analysis of past and present land-use. HLAMAP is a web-based presentation of this data that allows the user to view the data by Historic Land-use Type, Period or Category as well as by Relict Period, and to print out a report of any selected area. To date almost 45% of Scotland has been analysed and is presented here. All data last updated 4th April 2004.

This project is jointly sponsored by Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland.


I'm having a play now - wonderful maps!

Cheers,
Pam
