Dear Susan
I believe you mean Edinburgh, Scotland.
I would suggest you approached the Geography Department of Edinburgh
University http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/home which has a good network with
the cartographic fraternity in Edinburgh.
Sincerely
Bill Stevenson

Susan,
Try looking at the Ordnance Survey home page...
http://www.ordsvy.gov.uk/products/index.html
...and for 1:10,000 data, search under Landplan.
Price per sheet is 55 pounds (using national grid sheetlines) - the full
urban area of Edinburgh occupies 9 such sheets, while a site-centred plot
will cost 75 pounds.

I think you should ascertain that your patron knows which place is
required before pursuing her/his request for cartography: there is
no such city as "Edinborough" - but there is the capital of Scotland,
EDINBURGH! It will help Russell Guy [et al.] if boundaries were
stipulated (i.e. New Town, Old Town, present City administrative
boundary), as these - with scale options - will determine number of
sheets required. Information on purpose of request will also help
advice from yourself or Russ prior to placing order.
Sincerely
Francis Herbert (Curator of Maps, RGS, London)
