I’ve begun working on this hand-drawn map of Britain and Ireland, and I wanted to ask for some suggestions as to what fun Easter Egg illustrations I could include around the map. I have some in mind already, but would love to hear any suggestions you want to offer!
I’ve attached an image from some of my recent work to give a feel for the scale and style.
Cumbernauld Centre.
World famous architecture.
Include Shetland
Greyfriars Bobby would be cool and the Loch Ness monster
Including the Great Polish Map of Scotland on the map of Scotland would be fun!
I know it’s outside Scotland, but my home village in Oxfordshire is where the first named dinosaur (The Megalosaurus) was dug up, and I doubt there’s much else going on, around there?
Haggis running around the cairngorms over to see what nessie is upto
The Kelpies are fun.
Actually, kelpies in general are fun.
Stripe the whole of the Island of Eigg like a painted Easter egg!
St Michaels Mount, Cornwall
The Greenock Catman
Nessie is a classic, but if you want a different cryptid Scotlands National animal is the unicorn. Might want to include one somewhere
St Andrew’s Old Course, Falkirk Wheel, oil rigs in North Sea, Stirling Castle, curling stone where Ailsa Craig would be, whisky bottle in the Hebrides
Billy Connolly’s banana boots in Glasgow
Giants causeway stones in Scotland and Antrim.
A big mountain in Donegal. Or a McDaids football special.
Livingston shopping centre in Scotland
Eriskay FC football pitch?
The Kelpies/Falkirk Wheel
Wallace Monument
Edinburgh Castle
Duke of Wellington Monument in Glasgow (with cone on head)
Loch Ness Monster
Three Sisters in Glencoe
Glenfinnan Viaduct
Antonine Wall
Old Course St Andrews
Inverness bank machine

The big golf ball roundabout in Musselburgh.
Eilean Donnan, Skara Brae
Allt Na Reigh cottage in glen coe , home of Hamish MacInnes the “father of modern mountain rescue in Scotland”, mountaineer, explorer, mountain search and rescuer, and author. He also invented the MacInnes stretcher.
The Norse Dragon at Maeshowe?
Purple Aki
What on earth has happened to the Fife coastline.
The runway at Barra airport
The West Highland Way, the Harry Potter bridge, the statue of the Duke of Wellington with the cone on his head, the site where the SS Politician ran aground, the shipyards in Glasgow, the big yin… just somewhere…
Puffin island
Toothache Stone on Islay
“Arria”at Cumbernauld. The Clootie Well.
Forth (rail) Bridge.
Falkirk Wheel.
Desperate Dan.
Jurassic Coast.
HMS Victory.
Something Metal related around Brum/the Black Country.
The pineapple in Airth . Look it up . It’s a large building in the shape of a pineapple
Dinosaur footprints in Skye
Dinosaur footprints in Skye
The Corrievreckan whirlpool.
