Title: forestry commission site for plotting/measuring your land in Scotland
Post by: tobytoby on June 28, 2011, 04:56:21 pm

I found this site whilst looking at opportunities for woodland grants. Unfortunately you can't print off, but you can measure linear lengths and areas of any of your fields and satellite views - very handy. Select your location, zoom in, Bobs your Uncle and Fanny's your Aunt.Don't be spying on your neighbour - LoL

There must be an english equivalent somewhere?

There is an English version, but unfortunately you need to fork out £9k per term - LOL.
