Dark Sky map?

Hi,

I'm wondering: does anyone know where I can find a reliable map of good dark sky locations in Scotland/Northern Europe? I've seen this kind of thing around in the internet, but it was for North America.

Thanks

Try this but I think there is another

May not matter but they are usually based on population not an actual photograph so reasonably accurate but occasionally a bit out. One place near me is a village so shown with LP but no a street light in the place so the reality is very dark.

There is thios one

An overlay of 2 maps, may be the one above and a road map.

That's brilliant - thanks for posting this. I've seen a few of these before, but that's the clearest one I've seen yet for actually being able to recognise the places underneath the LP overlay. (I think I might find the 'hybrid' map more useful than the road map, FWIW.)  I know they're only a guide to possible good locations, but I'm sure it will make for more efficient reconnaissance.
