Achray 1979. A map from the Golden Age of orienteering cartography. Chopped in two - the big part of the map was used for the individual Scottish Championships and the northern bit the relay run by #EUOC . Harveys made it for the 6 days. #OldOrienteeringMaps #OrienteeringMaps #FVO #Trossachs #Perthshire
