Really interesting if you click on the Satellite link. Then you can see things as they are today (e.g. Google hybrid), and switch on and off the overlay of the 1872 maps.

There was also another link:

which I'm sure I must have got from the ORG.

We've decorated our downstairs loo with old Highland maps - looks brill and we can study places we've been to or would like to visit.
