A classic 1945 map of the Pentland Hills, revived with modern elevation data.
Available from December 2025, only in selected physical stores in Edinburgh, Scotland. Keep an eye on the website for more announcements!
This exciting restoration project set out to give new life to a classic work by the renowned Edinburgh cartographers, John Bartholomew & Son Ltd. Working in close partnership with John Bartholomew, a paper original from the National Library of Scotland was carefully scanned, cleaned, and digitally restored.
The restored map was enhanced with modern satellite elevation data. A digital “sunlight” effect was then cast across the landscape, creating a subtle 3D appearance. Achieving this required extensive experimentation with light, colour, and detail, followed by multiple test prints and refinements to ensure accuracy and quality.
The enhanced map will be available only in selected physical stores in Edinburgh, in A1 size, both framed and unframed.
