50 Years of the Great Polish Map

Lodged by Christine Grahame Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the 50th anniversary of work commencing on the Great Polish Map of Scotland, also known as Mapa Scotland, a 50m x 40m three-dimensional outdoor concrete scale model of Scotland in the grounds of Barony Castle in Eddleston; notes that the Map was the brainchild of Polish war veteran, Jan Tomasik, and was built between 1974 and 1979, mainly by a small group of Polish people; understands that it is claimed to be the world’s largest terrain relief model and has in recent years been renovated and restored by a committed team of volunteers; believes that, as well as the merits of the creative endeavour, it also stands as a lasting tribute to the ties between Poland and Scotland, and looks forward to its next 50 years.
