Map of Finds
*Click here for the Map of Finds*
The map of finds from Google My Maps, show the current results of the challenge.
Icons show general types of finds; existing or existed telephone kiosks, bandstands, shelters and other features. The finds are dated by the finder.
Note: Since the challenge began some items found are no longer there - removed or being refurbished. Also, Streetview shows a specific date for their shots.
Click on an icon to find the exact spot of the item. Also, information ranges from simple posts, to much information:
- Finders. including updates from the first to most recent
- Streetview or What3 Words locations - you can electronically move to different views in some.
- Photographs of the items and their settings from different angles. Recently some 360° views have been used by finders to enhance the experience - inside or outside the item. Whatever you like to contribute.
- Occasionally, supplementary information about the history of the item with useful links.
The current list, on the left-hand side of the map, is in order of areas: Kirkintilloch, Scotland, Rest of the UK and Ireland, Europe, Americas, Asia, Australasia and Oceania.
Easter Eggs - incentive to find items.
Recently introduced on the map, they are great incentives. (Note: they are 'digital' eggs - NOT chocolate!)
They are placed in the exact locations of foundry items - where research has indicated a very-high probability that an item is there! Each awaits you to confirm the find!
Such items might include listed buildings and/or unique stories of these items, which hail from Kirkintilloch!
