A colleague at work on my last contract gave me a huge bag of old maps, collected by her father. Thanks, Christine - they are lovely, and almost too nice to cut up!
In amongst them was this great map of the area - all around Loch Lomond and the Trossachs - but with a 3D colouring to the mountains that gives them definition - half map, half illustration.
I also love the old typefaces and covers on these maps.

Lovely! What a fantastic hoard, I can feel the green-eyed monster popping up! Looking forward to seeing what you create.
Hope all's well, C!
