Contour Lines grew from a lifelong fascination with places, the stories I grew up with and a desire to reimagine the places I have lived and loved through loss and rediscovery.

I have lived, worked and wandered across Scotland and the Borders, collecting memories as readily as maps. From the shores of Holy Island to the hills of Killiecrankie and the landscapes around Selkirk, each place has left its mark on me and helped shape the collections you will find here.

What began as a love of local history and historic cartography became a desire to share these remarkable landscapes with others. Through carefully curated maps and collections, Contour Lines invites you to explore the places, people and journeys that have shaped our history.
