Custom Map Poster of Edinburgh — Wall Art for Scotland's Capital

A personalised Edinburgh map poster is a unique and striking piece of wall art — and one of the most meaningful gifts you can give someone with a connection to the city. Whether you studied there, live there, or visited and never forgot it, a custom map captures something no generic print ever can: your specific place, at your chosen scale, in your chosen style.

At Piggery Studio, every Edinburgh map is generated fresh from live OpenStreetMap data, printed at 300 DPI on 250gsm archival paper, and designed exactly the way you want it. Use our live design tool to preview your poster before you buy.

Is a Edinburgh Map Poster Right for You?

A Edinburgh map poster works particularly well for:

  • People with a connection to Edinburgh — a map of your own city or neighbourhood is personal in a way no other wall art is
  • Gift buyers — map posters are one of the most appreciated personalised gifts. For anyone with roots in Edinburgh, they are difficult to get wrong
  • Interior decoration — Edinburgh’s street network is one of the most visually dramatic in the world. At the right scale, it makes genuinely beautiful wall art

Edinburgh is one of the most common university cities in our orders — perfect for graduation gifts.

Room suitability: Works in any room. Dark themes suit home offices, moody rooms, and feature walls. Light and neutral themes suit any space.

Which Part of Edinburgh?

Being specific makes for a much more personal map. Think about which area actually matters to the person it is for:

  • Old Town — the medieval Royal Mile, closes and wynds, Edinburgh Castle, Grassmarket
  • New Town — the Georgian grid, Princes Street, Queen Street Gardens
  • Leith — the waterfront district, the Shore, the docks — a city within a city
  • Southside and Newington — the student quarter, Meadows, Marchmont
  • Stockbridge — independent village feel, Water of Leith, Dean Village

Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town create a striking contrast on the map — both make beautiful posters. When you use the design tool, search for any street, postcode, or neighbourhood and zoom to exactly the right area.

Which Map Style Should You Choose?

Edinburgh has a natural drama that suits both bold and heritage themes:

  • Heritage and history: Vintage Atlas or Sandstone Calm — the aged parchment suits Edinburgh’s medieval character perfectly
  • Dark and atmospheric: Starlit Depth or Deep Nightfall — Edinburgh at night in rich navy and gold
  • Clean and modern: Gallery Ink or Soft Neutral — lets the beautiful geometry of the New Town speak for itself
  • Bold statement: Electric Horizon — for a contemporary take on a historic city

Not sure? Try any theme on your Edinburgh area in the design tool — switch between all 30 instantly before you buy.

Edinburgh’s Old Town is dense and intricate — A2 or A1 lets the closes and wynds show up clearly.
