West of Scotland Sailing Map: A Planning Guide for Yacht Cruising

2013 | Sport & Leisure

This high quality topographical map is specially designed to show the 'Big Picture' for yachtsman planning to cruise in the West of Scotland. It provides a unique combination of the best information shown on a conventional road map with selected nautical details. The map covers the sailing area from the Clyde to Ullapool and the Outer Hebrides as far north as Stornaway. The topographical base map is detailed and shows the main information important to most visitors - towns, villages, roads, railways, stations, ferry crossings, airports, islands, bays, headlands, straits, mountains, relief, rivers and lakes with all this detail in slightly muted colours. Sailing information is superimposed over this - highlighted in bright colours to stand out - marinas, pontoons, visitor moorings, selected anchorages, diesel supplies, areas with especially strong tidal streams, and a few selected pubs. The format of the map is designed to be convenient and user friendly with the information shown as simply and clearly as possible. There are guidance notes and links to further information sources.
