One of the more unique attractions in Scotland is a massive concrete map of the country found in the grounds of the Barony Castle Hotel, outside the village of Eddleston in the Scottish Borders.
Measuring 50 metres by 40 metres, the Great Polish Map of Scotland is said to be the largest terrain relief model in the world. It was built between 1974 and 1979, and is the brainchild of Polish war veteran Jan Tomasik.
The model was actually constructed as a thank you gift by Tomasik, who was a sergeant in the 1st (Polish) Armoured Division. He was stationed in Galashiels during World War Two, and married a Scottish nurse in 1942 after being treated for his wounds.
