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

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:
