Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Shetland


  • We have published just the one map in Shetland, for Lerwick itself. Details are given below.

    All maps are available from our On-line Mapshop or from selected bookshops in the area. Each map includes a specially written introduction.

    The following maps are all taken from the OS 25" maps and reduced to a scale of approximately 15 inches to the mile. They are extremely detailed, showing individual houses, details such as railway tracks, pathways, pubs, factories and even minutiae such as fountains and signal posts. Obviously they cover quite a small area, normally a mile by a mile and a half each. Click on the links below for further information on each map.


  • These are our maps for Shetland
