Ronald P A Smith Street Plans


SCOTLAND'S BEST STREET MAPS!

Ronald P A Smith publishes nearly 100 maps, covering about 650 towns and villages in Scotland. Since 1980, when the first street plans were compiled, they have been produced to a consistently high standard of detail, clarity and accuracy; over 2,000,000 of our maps have been sold.

The maps are a unique LARGE-scale record of the communities covered. NO OTHER major series of street maps or street atlases covering Scotland shows a comparable level of detail and such a wealth of relevant information, regularly checked and updated by personal survey, and fully indexed.

 
Sadly, in 2008, we have had to take the decision to cease publication of our maps, owing mainly to the closure of small, independent shops and petrol stations and the effective exclusion of our products from most supermarket/petrol station chains which insist on supply via 'national' (UK) companies, principally A-Z which won't stock our maps.  Competition from greatly inferior (but 'free') internet mapping is also a factor.

However, for the time being, the maps are still available in most parts of Scotland, through good bookshops (including Waterstone's and Borders), newsagents, post offices, stationers and petrol filling stations. Most of the relevant tourist information centres stock our maps, as do many public libraries.
 
Although most bookshops will order individual titles for customers,  and the maps are available by mail order (see the blue button below), we are often asked if there is a retail stockist of all the R P A Smith Street Plan titles.  This facility is available at Blackwell's Bookshop, 53-59 South Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1YS (tel: 0131 622 8222; email
edinburgh@blackwell.co.uk), conveniently located in Central Edinburgh.
 
Also now available - a superb selection of old Bartholomew maps, mostly suitable for framing and great as gifts - click on the button at the foot of the page!
