Edinburgh map poster
Edinburgh is built on an extinct volcano (Arthur's Seat) and a series of hills, with the Old Town clinging to a ridge between the Castle and Holyrood Palace. The New Town was built on a grid in the 18th century across a drained loch. What surprises most people is how different the two halves of the city are: the medieval jumble of the Old Town and the Georgian symmetry of the New Town.

Frequently asked about Edinburgh posters
What size is the Edinburgh map poster?
The Edinburgh map poster measures 30×40cm (roughly 12×16 inches), a standard poster size that fits most ready-made frames available at IKEA, high street shops, and online retailers.
What paper is the Edinburgh poster printed on?
All Edinburgh posters are printed on 200gsm archival matte paper with UV-resistant pigment inks. The paper is FSC-certified and the inks are rated for decades of display without noticeable fading.
Can I frame the Edinburgh map poster?
Yes. The 30×40cm size is a standard frame size. You can find affordable frames at most home goods stores. The poster ships rolled in a sturdy tube and will flatten easily under light pressure or in a frame.
What is the difference between the Edinburgh colourways?
The Edinburgh poster is available in 11 colourways: from high-contrast Noir (black streets on white) to coastal Swell (teal tones) and electric Strip (neon-inspired). Each colourway uses the same map data but applies a different colour palette to streets, water, green spaces, and background. You can see all 11 on the Edinburgh poster page.
How is the Edinburgh poster made?
Each Edinburgh poster is generated from OpenStreetMap data and rendered as a clean vector map. It is printed on demand when you order, which means no inventory waste and a fresh print every time.
Does the Edinburgh poster show landmarks?
The poster focuses on the street network, waterways, and green spaces of Edinburgh rather than individual landmarks. It is designed as an abstract city portrait where the street layout itself is the subject.
