Aerofilms
Aerofilms are vertical images taken from aeroplanes. The Scran Trust has acquired the Aerofilm Collection and will be making these available to first zoom level completely free. Subscribers will see all zoom levels.
We have initially added 20,000 of these images and intend to digitise many more. These images cover many parts of Scotland and will appear automatically in place name searches.
Aerofilm images, if available, will appear in a Stack at the top of any place name search. More about Stacks.
