About the best that I know of is Google Maps. That will give you pretty good road maps to most parts of the known world. You have an option to see just a map..or an aerial view, of a composite. Down side to the aerial views is that the image quality is very dependent on where you are looking. In the case of Graemsay you can just about make out the major landscape features and that not very clear. But if you move over to Inverness and Wick you can about make out the streets,,just barely. But if you zoom in on Edinburgh you can get down to the point of counting the cars in the parking lots and the buildings are very clear. In the less populated areas they use low resolution satellite images. In the middle populated areas they start switching to higher resolution satellite images and sometimes medium resolution aerial photos. In the major population centers they are using high resolution, low altitude aerial images. maps.google.com/maps Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth are both a little better, but they both require you to sign up and download software onto your computer.

The several sites I've gone to will highlight a whole island, showing which blob is which island, but i want to see a map that gives village and town names. I've finally figured out, starting with the map that Mike posted, that Stenness is part of Mainland. Duh. I want to do some looking and can't put my hands on my Michelin Guide... Any site suggestions?
