Maps on the NBN Atlas

We are providing a quick way to view maps direct from the NBN Atlas through this page.  Because of limitations of space, we can deal with only the smaller and more popular groups through the website, but provide Excel spreadsheets, or for the real specialist an Access database, for larger groups.

The links below offer one-click access to the maps for HBRG records in Highland, all records in Highland, and all records in the UK and Ireland, direct from the Atlas database.  The UK map may take some seconds to load.  If you want your own group of interest to be featured, or want the Access database, or have any comments on this feature, contact .

There is also an option to view the record details on the Atlas website (opens in a new browser tab), from where you can do further filtering and analysis by clicking the relevant squares on the map displayed.

You can also search on 10km or 1km grid squares in Highland.
