Map of Scotland

Location map UK Scotland is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Scotland. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Usage

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "Scotland":

• {{location map| UK Scotland | ...}}
• {{location map many| UK Scotland | ...}}
• {{location map+| UK Scotland | ...}}
• {{location map~| UK Scotland | ...}}

Map definition

• name = Alba

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Scotland location map.svg

  The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"

• image1 = Scotland relief location map.jpg

  An alternative map image, usually a relief map, can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters

• top = 61

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 54.5

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -8.8

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -0.4

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Scotland relief location map.jpg) can be displayed by using the relief or AlternativeMap parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below. Additional examples can be found at:

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

{{Location map | UK Scotland
| width   = 200
| lat_deg = 55.953
| lon_deg = -3.189
| label   = Edinburgh
}}

Location map many, using relief parameter (image1)

{{Location map many | UK Scotland
| relief   = yes
| width    = 200
| caption  = Two locations in Scotland
| lat1_deg = 55.953
| lon1_deg = -3.189
| label1   = Edinburgh
| lat2_deg = 58.981
| lon2_deg = -2.96
| label2   = Kirkwall
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

{{Location map+ | UK Scotland
| AlternativeMap = Scotland relief location map.jpg
| width   = 200
| caption = Two locations in Scotland
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | UK Scotland
  | lat_deg = 55.953
  | lon_deg = -3.189
  | label   = Edinburgh
  }}
  {{Location map~ | UK Scotland
  | lat_deg = 58.981
  | lon_deg = -2.96
  | label   = Kirkwall
  }}
