Re: [Talk-GB] Western Isles / Na h-Eileanan Siar

[Paterson, Keith]

How should they be mapped. Eilean Bàn at Kyle looks similar.


  * Many of the coastlines are uncorrected PGS data often with
systematic errors of placement of 100s of metres.
  * In some cases shadows on high cliffs have led to erroneous
coastlines (notably Soay which should now be corrected).
  * The Western Isles boundary largely does not follow the coastline.
It appears to mainly result from import of Boundary Line Open Data
and therefore uses the low water mark. This data is generally more
accurate than coastline data so many islands fall outwith or
across the admin boundary.
  * Many islands are not actually part of the boundary relation at all.



Is it right and the other small ones wrong. Is there a wiki?

[Talk-GB] Landuse Crofting

[Paterson, Keith]

I'm currently mapping landuse/landcover in Skye from my Sofa. I came 
across a question I couldn't find an answer to. How are crofting 
townships to be mapped. There isn't really a distinction between the 
actual arable land and the houses. Any guidelines there?
