Hi,
You created a multipolygon of natural tundra. I'm wondering why as large areas of moor land like this is usually marked as natural-heath or scrub? And are you still working on it?
Thanks.

Hi. Can I just say Thanks for some excellent mapping of heath, bog and waterways. Its almost a work of art and as accurate as I can figure.
I wish mine were as good.

Good, I think. Not sure how I would have created a duplicate, but it looks fine now you've been through!
Thanks.

Changeset comment meant to be: improve line of paths, add fences, gates, cattle_grid, and other details.

The only paths we mark are officially adopted trails like the West Highland Way. Anything else, Cape Wrath, Cairngorms Loop, etc, are not marked. Nor will you won't find a signpost or trail blazes to Ben MacDui. We traditionally have expected people to have a map and be competent.

I'd not heard of these Rother books before. I'm kind of surprised you have added them as routes when you say they aren't accurate.

They don't sound appropriate to add if I'm honest. But I won't delete them. I'll leave you to consider that, maybe.

Hi. You've added a number of relations with names Cairngorms Trekking 1,2,3. Do you have any sources for the names of these routes, as they look like personal planning? I can't find any other sources.
Thanks.

Changeset comment typo, the house is marked Pait Lodge.

Whoops, hit return by mistake. Changeset comment should read: Mark historical paths as abandoned. I don't believe they should be in OSM at all as unverifiable and non-existent on aerial photography.

Hi there.
You've added some paths which I can't find on Bing or ESRI aerial photography or have any strava heatmap traces along them. What sources did you use ?

E.g: way/1215793367#map=15/57.0216/-5.2619

Thanks

Hi,
Why are you changing highway=path to footway? - which is where a path is designated to pedestrians. Which doesn't really exist as such here and since they are used by mountain bikers, who are legally entitled to use them, isn't appropriate?
Thanks.

Okay. So to make sure I have the picture correctly. Is your property a 'garden' which people have some access to at certain times? Or are you a purely private property like anyone else's garden?

139466932

There are lots of service roads to properties marked on OSM, but that's beside the point.

OS hasn't removed your driveway from their mapping, I can still see it. And I doubt they would anyway. It's a valid thing to map. Anyway, this is about OpenStreetMap.

Changing things on OSM or OS is not going to stop people acting stupidly on your driveway. You need to stop them having access to it with gates or a chain.

I see your gardens are listed on VisitScotland and discoverscottishgardens.org. Have you discussed the problems you are having with them. Or contacted the local police for more practical advice.

Hi. Why have you deleted this service road/driveway?

You realise that won't help you police your property, and someone, often a local mapper will replace it. The existence of a way on OpenStreetMap does not indicate a right of access - what you can do is to mark it private with an access tag "access=private". What you shouldn't do is to delete valid data.

135774320

No that's fine. Names start somehow.

135774320

That's an interesting name, do you have a source for it?

135781528

Hi there, "knoll feature" sounds like a description not something which should be in the name field. Would you like to correct it...

116555623

Hi there,
Please don't put things like "Planned residential development" in name tags as that is inappropriate. Use a note tag if you must. You could also add construction=residential. Are the tracks you added actually on the ground?
Finally, please add a meaningful comment to your commit so other mappers can see what your intentions are.
Thanks.

You have also added a load of roads with highway=residential alongside Loch an Eilean, where none exist.
Please let me know why you have done this as it looks like vandalism.

Hi. Why have you added a railway track at Inverdruie where nothing like that exists?

74454428

Yeah, no bother. I'd maybe have gone for path if I felt like it needed updating, since that doesn't discount cycle use. But not fussed. Just wondered the rational.
Cheers.
