Map of Scotland

Module:Location map/data/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 "UK Scotland":

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

Map definition

• name = Scotland

  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, which 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 {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}}, and {{Location map+}} templates have parameters to specify an alternative map image. The map displayed as image1 can be used with the relief or AlternativeMap parameters. Examples may be found below or in the following:

• Template:Location map#Relief parameter
• Template:Location map+/relief
• Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter
• Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 8.4 degrees.

• At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.042 degrees per pixel.
• At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0084 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 6.5 degrees.

• At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.0325 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Edinburgh

Edinburgh (Scotland)

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

Location map many, using relief parameter (image1)

Edinburgh

Kirkwall

Two locations in Scotland

{{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

Edinburgh

Kirkwall

Two locations in Scotland

{{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
  }}
}}
