Welcome to the Ordnance Survey (OS) open source digital map.

A tool you can use to research the place-names on the current series of OS maps. Simply type in a focal place-name, such as a settlement, and start researching the surrounding area. Zoom into the map view different scales, and click on the map to get a six figure grid reference.

*Please note! You will not be able to search for any names that do not appear on the map. This includes some Gaelic names, e.g. You can search for ‘Tyndrum’, but ‘Taigh an Droma’ won’t work.

Also, names need to be spelt exactly as they appear on the map, otherwise your search will not work. If you are unsure of the spelling, try searching for a more focal name nearby, e.g. If you are searching for ‘Beauly’ try ‘Dingwall’ instead.
