BUT you can click on the 'back' button until you return to this page

1.  Athaia

This site has directories of Cities, Climate, News, Maps, Websites, etc. for over 250 countries around the world.

2.  Camera Manual Store

This site sells old camera documents.  It also includes links to many web sites on photography that may be of interest.  These are grouped into about 25 categories, covering both photographic equipment and images.

3.  Edinburgh Maps  -  Current

For maps of Edinburgh and elsewhere in Britain today, I recommend the Multimap web site.

The Multimap site displays maps for post-codes.  It also has Edinburgh web-cams.

4.  Edinburgh Maps  -  Historic

For old maps of Edinburgh and elsewhere I recommend the NLS map site.

This site displays many images from the National Library of Scotland's extensive collection of maps.

5.  Old Maps

This Old Maps web site is provided by Landmark Information Group.  It provides access to a wide range of old and recent Ordnance Survey maps which can be accessed using place names, addresses or co-ordinates.

It may also be a useful way of finding postcodes for addresses in the UK.

The site includes 1854 maps, modern maps and aerial views, and  can zoom-in and zoom-out.

5.  Photoclicks Photography Directory

This directory site has useful links to over 1,000 photography web sites, sorted into fifty categories:  aerial, architectural, digital, fine art, history, infrared, landscape, wildlife, etc.

6.  Photography Resources

This directory of web sites on the internet has been created by Blake Webster whose message is "Explore photography through the internet." 

The Photography Resources site groups other photographic sites on the internet into categories.  There are now more than  200 different categories of site listed:  abstract, action, Adam, adult, aerial, American etc. etc.

7.  Scotsman Digital Archive

The archive of The Scotsman newspaper from its first edition in 1817 to 1900 is now available on line.  Soon the archive is to be extended to 1900, and eventually to the present day.

There is a charge for daily (or longer) access.  I have found this to be good value for money in terms of the amount of information available and the ease with which it can be accessed through keyword searches.
