Comments on: Ordnance Survey misrepresenting Nairn? http://www.mynairn.com/2009/08/17/ordnance-survey-misrepresenting-nairn.html All about Nairn in the Scottish Highlands Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:45:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brian Turner http://www.mynairn.com/2009/08/17/ordnance-survey-misrepresenting-nairn.html/comment-page-1#comment-1093 Brian Turner Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:18:31 +0000 http://www.mynairn.com/?p=718#comment-1093 Reply from OS: "Thank you for your email of 17 August regarding the depiction of Nairn on our 1:250 000 scale Road Map series. I referred your enquiry to our technical team for advice (as per my email below) and they have said that there is no reason why Nairn should not be shown as a sandy beach. It is already shown as sand on our 1:25 000 scale and 1:50 000 scale mapping, so we have now corrected it on our 1:250 000 scale data. The next time the sheet for this area is revised, Nairn will be shown as a sandy beach. Thank you for bringing this to our attention as we appreciate all feedback, especially that which enables us to improve the accuracy of our products." Result! Reply from OS:

However, I noticed the Phillips roadmap has no beach marked for Nairn (because of the lack of the yellow colour on the OS maps). Not checked the AA roadmap yet, but suspect it is little different.
