Very brief details of the sheets and how to access them is available on the wiki athttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/7th_Series Wow, they are beautiful maps!I've just had a go at using them as a background in Potlatch, looking at Campbeltown. There are plenty of roads on the map that aren't on OSM. Is it reasonably safe to assume that these probably do still exist, and can be added to OSM (with appropriate source tag?)
Press b in Potlatch to get the source tag added.I have noticed that the status of some of the roads seem to have changed in Dumfries, so I think that local knowledge would be useful for this one.
I've noticed that there is an offset in Dumfries that is noticeable (the current data is based on GPS). I've not checked to see how widespread the problem is.
