Alec produced this place-aware map of Mar
Lodge Estate, featuring approximately 100 place-names, handwritten on a map
collaged from the first edition OS, with his own English versions.
His versions were inspired by Adam Watson, Elizabeth Allan and Ian Murray’s place-name collections, and other contemporary experts, including Jacob King, Peadar Morgan and Peter McNiven. The map will be installed at Mar Lodge.
The map was produced during a residency commissioned by Common Ground and supported by the Woodland Trust.
