A bit surreal to be back to work today, albeit on a part-time basis, after a year of mat leave! Looking forward to getting stuck in (and to cups of tea whenever I like!) and fortunate that @natlibscot is an accommodating employer #childcarecrisis

We have just released a new Woodland in Scotland map viewer. maps.nls.uk/projects/woodlan… The Library partnered with @ZuluEcosystems, who have extracted a digital layer showing woodland from the mid-19th century Ordnance Survey maps. maps.nls.uk/additions/#155
