811.0. "Celtic maps info (Gaelic/Welsh/Cornish)" by MARVIN::COCKBURN (nemo me impune lacessit) Fri Sep 21 1990 08:10

All,
	On my search for a Gaelic map of Scotland, I've turned up the
following which is likely to be of interest not only to people wanting
Gaelic maps of Scottish areas, but anyone wanting maps in other languages
too (eg. Welsh, Cornish, Old Norse)


The maps available are:

Alba (Scotland, Gaelic)				�1.90
Tiriodh agus Colla (Tiree/Coll, Gaelic)		�1.60
Leodhas agus Na Hearadh (Lewis/Harris, Gaelic)  �1.60
Uibhist agus Barraidh (Uist/Barra, Gaelic)	�1.60
An t-Eilean Sgiathanach (Skye, Gaelic)		�1.60
Arainn (Arran, Gaelic)				�1.60

Cymru (Wales, Welsh)				�1.90
Kernow (Cornwall, Cornish by Tewennow)		�1.90
  (This map of Cornwall is no longer in stock, although if you're
   interested I would imagine the addresses below might help you
   to track down a copy)

Hjaltland (Shetland, Old Norse)			�1.90
Orkneyjar ok Katanes (Orkney and Caithness,	�1.90
			Old Norse)

I think there's others, my photocopy of the price list ends there though.

These are 1989 prices, sorry I don't have anything more up to date.
UK P&P add 10%, overseas orders add 50% to cover P&P and another �1
to cover bank charges. Cheque with order please.

Pedersens can be reached at:

25 Glenburn Drive
Inbhir Nis  (Inverness)
IV2 4NE 
Alba  (Scotland)
 
  -- I've never experienced any trouble using the Gaelic in addresses when
     sending letters to Inverness

The company which sent me the price list, and who stock the Pedersen
series are:

Cluaran
21a Market Hall
Inverness
IV1 1PJ
	Tel: 0463 242500


le deagh dhurachd (with good wishes)

			Craig.

You could try the Welsh publishers, Y Lolfa. Their address is: Talybont Aberystwyth Dyfed Cymru UK SY24 5HE Their US distributors are: Inland book company East Haven CT, 06512 Tel: (203) 467 4257 I don't have enough Welsh to be able to make out the details in their catalogue!

811.4	some more places to try	IOSG::HUGHES	Jiggery Pokery	`Mon Apr 29 1991 07:11`	21
	Hi, If Y Lolfa don't have anything you could try one of the British Tourist Authority offices - there are a few of these but I know there is definitely one in New York, infact I read somewhere the other day that they've just employed a Welsh executive at this office, a Mr. John Alwyn Jones. I think this would be worth a try. If they don't stock flags etc. I'm sure they could point you in the right direction. As a final thought, there is a North American Welsh newspaper called Ninnau that might have some information or adverts on where to buy Welsh stuff, perhaps someone else in this file might have more information or addresses for this paper. HTH, Catrin.

It's an ordinary map. Contact for more info is: Clive James Hafan Caeathro Caernarfon Gwynedd, Cymru LL55 2SS Caernarfon (0286) 4121 est. 2377 I beleive he's fluent in G�idhlig and Welsh. Clive wrote to me in March about my correspondence with the Ordnance survey concerning a G�idhlig map of Scotland. He mentioned there is now a G�idhlig map of the Western Isles which is bilingual, but which gives priority to G�idhlig. The Welsh only map and the map of the Western Isles are produced by Estate Publications.
