About Tiree Map

This mobile website/app is brought to you by An Iodhlann Tiree's Historical Centre, and is funded by the Scottish Digital Research and Development Fund for Arts and Culture.

Feedback is very much appreciated. Please email to twc2012@whereweare.org

The map includes historical information arranged by major sites, and Gaelic names for key features so you can practice your Gaelic! In addition, it can track your location on Tiree and has key tourist sites, so act as a mini-sat-nav.
