IMPORTANT NEWS
whoownsscotland and
the Ordnance Survey
We
are appealing for donations to cover the £1000 one-off
costs of new mapping data.
We have had to cease (as of Feb 2007)
using Ordnance Survey mapping on this site due to them
making
new and
excessive
financial demands
on
us and to a breakdown of trust following their unilateral
termination of our contract. Read the story here.
As a reult we have had to remove all OS map images from
the site. We will be rebuilding these using alternative
mapping over the next six months. This alternative mapping
has cost
us in excess of £1000 but the good news is that we
will not
have to pay any further annual licence fees to anybody
and thus our core costs will be dramatically reduced.
THANK YOU 1
Thank you to the Registers
of Scotland who support the
research for this project by providing access to the
Registers of Sasines and the Land Register
for research purposes. Without their support this project
would not be possible.
THANK YOU 2
Thank you also to all who have made a donation
to help cover the costs of running the site. Your assistance
is much appreciated.
