"Streetwise Edinburgh" is a handy and updated (revised 2008) guide to walking Edinburgh, the fine capital of Scotland, and driving in its immediate environs. "Streetwise Edinburgh" is actually five maps contained on one laminated and folding sheet.On one side, there is a 1:2,200,000 scale map of Scotland, showing the principal roads and geographic features and probably detailed enough for a general orientation. Second on this side is a 1:120,000 scale Edinburgh Area Map, showing the city from the A720 ring road to the Firth of Forth coast. The third map on this side is a 1:11,000 scale depiction of the Port of Leith and the immediate area near the shore, including the permanent home of the Royal Yacht Britannia. This rather crowded side include a directory to Edinburgh streets.The flip side of the folded sheet has a 1:200,000 of the Edinburgh Region, including the city itself, the Lothians, and that area of Fife bordering the Firth of Forth. Perhaps most importantly, this side includes a 1:11,000 scale depiction of the Old Town, including the Castle, the Palace of Holyrood, and the adjacent Holyrood Park. This map include a good selection of the more prominent visitor attractions."Streetwise Edinburgh" is highly recomemmended to those planning to walk Edinburgh and explore the surrounding area by automobile.
I find these Streetwise maps in general very useful. They have a lot of detail but not too much and are a good size not to be conspicuous, especially if you're the type that doesn't use a smartphone. I love Charleston and visit at every opportunity, which still isn't often enough to have downtown memorized. This map is just what I need. It has two different scale maps of the lower peninsula, and two different scale maps of the environs, which is useful for driving. Plus a small map of North Charleston near the airport.There is one minor error on the maps of downtown. The church at the corner of Broad and Legare is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, not as the 2012 edition reads, St. John the Divine.Otherwise, nice map and great value for the price.
At a minimum, I thought the Streetwise Edinburgh map would have an enlarged map of the Royal Mile and New Town, as these areas have the great majority of tourist sights. Instead, these areas are just a tiny part of the largely unreadable map of central Edinburgh. Perversely, there is an enlarged detailed and easily legible map of Leith, but the Royal Yacht Britannia (Leith's big tourist attraction) barely makes it onto the edge of the map. Although laminated and all on one sheet, the addition of a map of the Firth of Forth area and a map of all of Scotland makes this unnecessarily bulky when folded. As another reviewer has commented, this revised version also does not show Edinburgh's not-so-new tram line. For a 3-day visit to Edinburgh proper, I have absolutely no use for a map of the entire country, or even the Firth of Forth, but I would have greatly appreciated a more detailed map of the city itself.
This map is durable and, most of the time, quite convenient and useful. However, it shows the Royal Infirmary (the only hospital in Edinburgh with an ER) in its old location, which is a considerable distance from its present location.Considering that the hospital moved to its present location in 2003, I think they've had ample time to update the map, which is dated as "revised 2007."Hopefully most travelers in need of emergency aid will call 999 or get a taxi, but woe to those who try to make it there themselves using this map!
A serious visitor to Edinburgh (Ed n bur a) would find this most helpful if one actually studies it beforehand, plans by research, instead of willy-nilly browsing. What a wealth of history to experience.
I couldn't disagree with Mr. Hughes' review more. My family does a lot of traveling, especially to cities with historic value. We thought the map was great and loved the historic insert and points of interest. My middle school children had no problem using it either. I am thrilled with all the Streetwise products, they are also easy to store and last forever!
It is a map and it does what mapsdo. That is, tells you street names etc. What it does not due is allow you to read it clearly if you are an older adult. But that is a small problem. I enjoy it to find out where things are supposed to be and may not be. But, again, it isa map and cannot be updated every month.
Useful map. As it turns out, map apps on my phone were actually for useful for getting around. My husband doesn't use apps and always carries a map. He liked this one and found it helpful. Recommend.
