    It took 28 years to complete this geological map of Scotland's mainland! The perfect combination of geology and cartography was created by Harry Young, and framed by his family for his 85th birthday 🗺 📷Shared with permission from @Jefferies_

    Are you interested in Great Britain's landmarks? This heatmap shows the distribution of historic buildings in GB; including Castles, Estates, Cathedrals, and more. It was created using OS Points of Interest and OS Open Zoomstack through ESRI @ArcGISPro's Kernel Density tool.
