Episode Details

Chris Birse, a Teesside dad, crafted a captivating Lord of the Rings-inspired fantasy map of Edinburgh and Lothian, blending real geography with local lore. After creating a map for his book, he launched an online shop for prints, quit his retail job, and now works full-time as an artist. His maps, starting with coastlines and hills in Photoshop, are layered with icons inspired by old tales. Locals appreciate his historically accurate approach, and he plans to expand his work to Glasgow, the Borders, and the Highlands, potentially even Europe or America.
