Walkhighlands maps

Our in-house map server is only for serving tiles to Walkhighlands website and app; use by other websites or apps, or any form of bulk download is strictly prohibited to ensure we can continue to provide a service.

The map tiles on our own map server were created by Walkhighlands from the data sources below; the tiles as combined on Walkhighlands are © Walkhighlands 2026.

They contain:
OS data © Crown copyright and database right (2026)
This data is used for the contours, height data, all topographic data (crags etc), spot heights, woodland & forests, water features, settlements, roads, railways, woodland, and the height data used to generate the hill shading. The source data is available from the OS under the Open Government Licence (OGL).

© OpenStreetMap contributors (2026)
This data is used for paths, electricity transmission lines (originally transposed from OS data), tracks, public toilets, footbridges, areas of bog/marsh, fords, waterfalls, lighthouses, danger areas/MOD firing ranges, campsites, parking areas and wind turbines on these maps. The source data is available from the OSM under the Open Database License (ODbL). As footpaths are crowd-sourced by OpenStreetMap, some may be shown that do not always exist on the ground. Parking areas are shown for information only – check local signs for usage restrictions and charges.

© Scottish Government (2026)
Data from the Scottish Government is used to mark scheduled monuments, which are nationally important monuments and sites. The source data is available under the Open Government Licence (OGL) v3.

You should always carry a backup means of navigation and not rely on a single phone, app or map. Walking can be dangerous and is done entirely at your own risk. Information is provided free of charge; it is every walker's responsibility to check it and to navigate safely.
