Great Polish Map of Scotland
Great Polish Map of Scotland, Scale model and tourist attraction in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom.
This concrete geoglyph spans 50 meters wide and 40 meters long, presenting Scotland's topography through three-dimensional terrain features and geographical elements.
The map emerged between 1974 and 1979 under Jan Tomasik's direction, a Polish war veteran who served with the 1st Armored Division during World War II.
This outdoor installation represents the connection between Poland and Scotland, created by experts from Jagiellonian University in Krakow under Kazimierz Trafas's leadership.
The map excludes the Northern Isles and occupies 780 square meters of land within the grounds of Barony Castle near the village of Eddleston.
This Category B listed building stands as the largest terrain relief map, displaying Scotland's mountains, valleys, and waterways in precise geographical detail.
