Fascinating 1896 map of the North East

The National Library of Scotland has created an online tool to allow people to see how an area looks in a recent satellite photo compared to a map published in 1896.

Using the blue slider button on the left hand side of the tool’s screen, you can look at the map, the photo or, best of all, a merged combination of both.

The link above will take you to the tool zoomed in on our area but you can of course use it to look elsewhere in Scotland.

    Good Morning Ian.
    As usual we have enjoyed your weekly new updates and thanks for the area map. Hubby has taken ages looking at that.
    Thanks again and well done at the Council elections.
