    Map Perth

    I almost wasn't going to post this map, as it honestly feels like a bit of a cheat compared to the stunning hand-drawn maps that have been posted recently, but... I like how it turned out, so why not...

    This is a map of the city of Perth in Scotland (not to be confused with its Australian namesake!) It's a place I'm fond of, so decided to have a go at mapping it. I gathered the data from OpenStreetMap in QGIS & exported it into Inkscape where I did everything else. Added a parchment background to give it more of a Ye Olde Mappe feel. The bridge illustration came from me running Inkscape's Trace Bitmap feature on a photo I took a while back. I'm pleased with the final result as I don't do that many city maps, so thank you to OpenStreetMap for doing the heavy lifting for me!
