5.0 out of 5 stars Edinburgh walks & sights, June 9, 2007

By	Scotland lover "Scot quine" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

A serious visitor to Edinburgh (Ed n bur a) would find this most helpful if one actually studies it beforehand, plans by research, instead of willy-nilly browsing. What a wealth of history to experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good map, wish it was more compact., March 28, 2009

By	Holga Chick (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This is a great map, I did review the map and plot out where I would be staying while in Edinburgh, as well a few places that I wanted to go. Street names are well labeled, it fit the need I had while I was there, however I just wish it was a bit more compact. If it folded over once more, to fit in your pocket, it would be just about perfect.

"Streetwise Edinburgh" is a handy and updated (revised 2008) guide to walking Edinburgh, the fine capital of Scotland, and driving in its immediate environs. "Streetwise Edinburgh" is actually five maps contained on one laminated and folding sheet.

On one side, there is a 1:2,200,000 scale map of Scotland, showing the principal roads and geographic features and probably detailed enough for a general orientation. Second on this side is a 1:120,000 scale Edinburgh Area Map, showing the city from the A720 ring road to the Firth of Forth coast. The third map on this side is a 1:11,000 scale depiction of the Port of Leith and the immediate area near the shore, including the permanent home of the Royal Yacht Britannia. This rather crowded side include a directory to Edinburgh streets.

The flip side of the folded sheet has a 1:200,000 of the Edinburgh Region, including the city itself, the Lothians, and that area of Fife bordering the Firth of Forth. Perhaps most importantly, this side includes a 1:11,000 scale depiction of the Old Town, including the Castle, the Palace of Holyrood, and the adjacent Holyrood Park. This map include a good selection of the more prominent visitor attractions.

"Streetwise Edinburgh" is highly recomemmended to those planning to walk Edinburgh and explore the surrounding area by automobile.
