I need some maps created that I can embed into a website.
They need show the journey a famous composer took on his long travels through Scotland.
Most are straightforward but some need to go via a special route, crossing over the sea to an island but a particular way rather than directly. I'm not even sure that this can be done.
There are about 13 maps in all with probably 4 of them being a special route as described above.
We need to be able to zoom in to see detail of the surrounding area. I'm not sure of the best map to use for this whether it's the AA, Google or something that is created offline.
I would welcome any suggestions on how this would be best done.
Please feel free to ask me any questions if the above isn't clear.
NOTE: Since posting this, I've added a PDF which shows the 4 most problematic routes. Here's an explanation of each:
Map 1 (Edinburgh to Perth, via Stirling). He actually travelled by boat up the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh to Stirling, and then overland by coach from Stirling to Edinburgh. You will see that I’ve indicated the Edinburgh to Stirling boat journey in black.
Map 2 (Fort William to Oban). He travelled by boat down Loch Linnhe all the way from Fort William to Oban. The AA Route map shows the land route, but it would be great if you can show the sea route (indicated in black).
Map 3 (Oban to Tobermory on the Isle of Mull). The AA Route map shows the ferry crossing from Oban to Mull, but these days the ferry lands at a place called Craignure (not shown on the map here) and you then travel by road to Tobermory. In Mendelssohn’s day, the ferry went direct from Oban to Tobermory, and I have indicated this in black on the map.
Map 4 (Tobermory to Staffa and Iona and back). The AA Route map doesn’t give anything for this journey as you can’t do it by road. I have therefore printed off a google map and shown the journey in black.
