Gazetteer of Scotland Area Guides (pdf)

We hope to offer Area Guides for Scottish towns and regions, summarising information from the Gazetteer database in a form that can be printed and used when visiting places in Scotland . A sample guide can be accessed from the link below:

Please take a look at this sample guide (click here)
( Adobe Acrobat Reader is required - download here )
-

Considering the guide above, how important do you believe the map to be to the overall document?

Vital---- Very Useful---- Useful --- Not Very Useful ---- Unnecessary
-

If you were to use a guide:

I would insist that the most famous places are included ( E.g. Edinburgh Castle for an Edinburgh based guide)

My only need would be for the gazetteer guides to be of interest (E.g. You may use such guides as a supplement for a standard tourist guide)

Any Comments:
