    Based on the name of pretty much every town in England, the Scots language wasn’t all that inventive once you got south of the border.

        Think of the possibilities for insults! “Oh thae? Thae’s Cuntsborough. Thae’s where the English cunts live.”

          Plenty of real places to choose from, both north and south of the border!

          Shitterton is my fave.

      it’s just a lil thing map nerds like to do to challenge the commonly used north at top and encourage us to give a second look to our landscapes

    The perspective is interesting. Slightly 3D/parallaxed, and I think also Mercator (because why not?)

    It’s an interesting perspective but I’m not sure the Scots perspective would be putting south at the top?

    Magnets still point north and the pole star is roughly north. Also it doesn’t seem culturally right that the Scots would out England “above” them on a map?

    The mercurator projection also benefits Scotland making it look larger although it’s a marginal benefit within great Britain itself.

        Was going to say, directions are arbitrary and this map is not intended for navigation.
