Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Ayrshire


We have published a group of maps in Ayrshire, including some for Ayr itself. The maps are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced in scale to about 14 inches to the mile. They are extremely detailed, showing individual houses, railway tracks, footpaths etc. Maps are available through our On-line Mapshop or by phoning the number below. Information pages have been added for individual maps; simply follow the links below.
