About Tiree Map

This mobile website/app has information and news for the Tiree Wave Classic as well as an interactive map of Tiree.

It is brought to you by Tiree Wave Classic and An Iodhlann Tiree's Historical Centre, and is funded by the Scottish Digital Research and Development Fund for Arts and Culture.

This is an early version, so feedback is very much appreciated. Please email to twc2012@whereweare.org

The map can track your location on Tiree, so act as a mini-sat-nav, and has key sites marked, including the major wind-surfing beaches. In addition, there is historical information arranged by major sites, and Gaelic names for key features so you can practice your Gaelic!
