A collection of maps depicting the area over the ages. These are obviously just small images in comparison to the real maps but will take a little time to download

• The National Library of Scotland site here has most of these which you can explore in detail.
• Multimap here has the current maps of the location
• Google Earth here has the satelitte maps which are wonderful to zoom around with. It is a plan to create layers of the census results for each decade for Google Earth over the next years, this way we can share the information and compare each census for families moving and for the growth of the habitation over the years. If anyone wants to get started and bring the information here we would all be very grateful"
