I wanna buy an aerial photograph of my house!

Hi all

For my dads christmas i would love to get him an aerial photograph of our house. Im at a loss where to find this. I live in scotland and the only ones i have seen so far are for england and wales. I would greatly appreciate any help on this.

Hes also very keen on his family history and i stumbled across this fantastic history of your house - see the link below

    This would have been my suggestion also.However to zoom in enough to have the picture of your own house and not just the general area you need a decent graphics card.My onboard graphics just didn't cut it.
  • Hi Roswell and Titewad

    Thanks for the idea, however my graphics card isnt good enough.oh well the search continues. Lol

    if not a photo, you could always get an personalised OS map, centred on your dads house

    Only problem is the small matter of copyright...

    I don't know about supermarkets but the online digital printers I've used always insist that you have the copyright for the image - don't know how/if they check though.
