Rockall - a photo on Flickriver

Rockall

Rockall, the most westerly point of Scotland, in the style of an Ordnance Survey map.

Elevation digitised from "First Map of Rockall" (Thanks to Dave Grzybowski for the digitising) and adjusted for coordinate established by Nick Hancock's 2014 expedition.

The map is for illustrative purposes only, it is not intended to be a definitive representation. Coordinates are lat/long on WGS84 and metres on UTM 28N.

Style adapted from an Ordnance Survey Explorer map although the marginalia is coincidentally closer to the FT style.

Beacon icon and rock symbols were adapted from the OS 1:25k raster legend. The rock symbols use a number of marker lines symbols with a randomly generated offset.

Terrain shaded using QGIS Visible Sky and Terrain Shading/Shadow tools.

The inset globe was designed following instructions by Alasdair Rae.

A texture was blended over the map to replicate the look of paper.
