Thanks

Not at the moment, though we should probably make one.

Is there anything in particular you didn't understand? Most of it is on here:
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/docs/legends/os-osvectormap-beta-legend.pdf

We've simply added contours, pale grey lines for service tracks, and deep red/brown dotted lines for hill tracks & paths.

It would be useful. There's nothing in particular but it's even difficult on the OS site to find a key and have had to resort to getting out a paper map in the past.

Thanks

Hi Mags, this pdf file has most of the 1:25k explorer symbols and should help :D

The legend for OS 1:25k is here

In your case, it's the boundary of National Trust for Scotland owned-land (Mar Lodge Estate) - but the same symbol is also used for Forestry Commission and Woodland Trust ownership boundaries.
