Visited the Great Polish Map of Scotland on our 1st wedding anniversary weekend. It was great to see such a magnificent piece of history in person. Set in beautiful grounds. It was a lovely experience for my Polish husband and my Scottish self ?

Came from the south side ..roads is one way till you hit the junction..turn left ..then as the road turns left ..you take the road straight on ..it heads into the hotels land. There is free parking. There is a sign on the left of the car park as you look at the hotel ..follow it round ..once you hit the grass there is steps go down and it is across the bridge..but be carefull as it's was very slippy when we went ..there is no sign at the opening to the steps but half way across the bridge which is no use for anyone being there

It is impressive to see, however it has obviously not been maintained for some years. Weeds and moss growing from it, water is stagnant.

If managed properly it has the opportunity to be what looks to be a decent tourist attraction

It's a place if your passing its worth a look but not much else other than the hotel to see

A nice and unique place, located in the hotel grounds but in an open area behind it, so it is open to the public for free 24 hours.
The place is quite neglected, it was built in the mid-70s of the twentieth century, and the last time it underwent comprehensive care and preservation was in 2013.
At the moment the water around the stone map is cloudy and dirty, and weeds are growing on the map. In the past the map was apparently painted, but it hasn't been like that for decades.
There is a small raised platform in order to view the map from a little higher, but it is still very low so that you do not see the entire map effect, and in fact there is no way to see the entire map from a bird's eye view, you have to use your imagination a lot.
It's a nice place to stop if you happen to be traveling in the area and have a few minutes to spare, as we had, but there's really no point in coming here especially, certainly not from afar.

Situated in the hotel grounds it is well sign posted.a lovely walk over a bridge wuth stream and waterwheel .the actual map is a bit disppointing despite there being a staircase up to a viewing platform .the map is impressive considering it was done in the 70s however it would be an ingredible site if it was painted and has more water around.it looked unloved and unkept. Im sure people would put in money if they had a voluntary donation box for upkeep as it is a unique and orginal map

We were staying at the Horseshoe Inn and had a short walk to the castle to view the map. There are some nice paths to walk along, and the information regarding the map was very informative. There are not many free attractions to visit these days. But this is one, and very good at that.

Brilliant place and worth the journey. The hotel staff are lovely. The site has a great walk round the side of the hotel car park. It's free to attend but absolutely have a donation to support it upkeep..the history and story and the Polish/Scottish friendship expressed this way is amazing.
Could do with having the stand for viewing a few feet higher! Great space and information around the area and the squirrel spot too.
