About this Event
Ever wondered what secrets lie in a map? Or wanted to go behind the scenes of a major collection? Do you just love maps?
Join us for the Map Festival, a day dedicated to all things cartographic. Discover the amazing maps and aerial photographs held by:
- Edinburgh City Archives
- Historic Environment Scotland
- National Collection of Aerial Photography
- National Library of Scotland
- National Records of Scotland
- University of Edinburgh
This is a hands-on event for everyone. Get a temporary map tattoo, try map-based games and puzzles, or chill with cartographic crafts and colouring.
There will be an opportunity to go behind the scenes to see our map collection first-hand. Or get a selfie with our trig point (replica of the concrete pillars you find on top of mountains).
This is a free drop-in event.
Our programme of bookable talks about some of the amazing maps held by local libraries and archives will be announced shortly.
