We have produced Orienteering maps for most Glasgow Schools - you can download them from this page. If you school/campus is not yet mapped and you would like to talk to us about getting it done, please use the contact options at the bottom of the page to get in touch.

We have also made a file of resources and ideas of how to use these maps in your Outdoor Learning sessions. Click here to download the pdf file.

Many of the maps here are still in the DRAFT column - that means they won't be fully accurate and we need your help to add corrections. If your school/campus is listed here as a draft map, please scroll to the bottom of the page for instructions on how to check it for errors and send the corrections to us. Thanks for your help!

Click on the files on the right hand columns and save to your device.

How to finish a draft map

Read the following information and once complete, send to Blairvadach@glowmail.org.uk. Use this Youtube video to help you.

Your draft has been made completely from the internet, what we now need is a ground survey to add all the other bits that we have missed, put in the wrong place or simply haven’t shown up.

The internet images are only good on the day they are taken so having someone on the ground, checking the area bit by bit is the most accurate way of getting the map as correct and true as possible. Is that something you or someone else at the school would be able to do?

You don’t need any specific knowledge, other than a good eye for detail and a knowledge of the grounds is always a bonus. The more pernickety you can be, the more accurate the map will end up. It is only permanent, non-moveable features that we want on the map to avoid confusion in the future. Examples of the things we can add into your map are contained within the key on the map.

Using the draft map, print out and draw/write physical adjustments onto it, we find that is the easiest way to add corrections. You can then send pictures of those annotated maps back to us. Feel free to take photographs of any specific features that are difficult to describe or draw onto the map. If the map starts to look too busy just print another copy and start adding to that. The dotted lines on the draft map represent boundaries we don’t quite know what they are from the internet, they could be kerbs, fences or indeed nothing of note. Please annotate the dots with what they should be changed to. Gates are especially handy for the MUGAs and playground areas, we can't spot these online.

Once you have the annotated pictures please send them and any notes or additional information to Blairvadach@glowmail.org.uk and someone will make the amendments.

Hopefully that makes sense...

Do’s

• Add Gates to fences
• Add any permanent features
• Remove things that are not accurate (bins, lamposts)
• Check the position of trees/bushes/features are accurate
• Add things that will aid your pupils learning
• Add lampposts and signs
• Check the terrains colour (is it Grass, is it more often rough ground, is it woods or single trees)

Don't

• Make the map too complicated or busy
