In another exciting step forward for the 1000 Huts campaign a new, interactive Google-based map has recently been published online showing the locations of huts and hutting sites around Scotland. The map builds on work carried out by author, long-time hutter and 1000 Huts supporter Leslie Riddoch, who transferred the 1999 Hut Survey carried out by Hugh Gentleman to Google Maps in 2012.
