The biggest map of Scotland ever created has been unveiled – a day before the Auld Enemy clash at Wembley. Entrepreneur John Henderson, 48, dreamed up the idea which coincided with the Euro 2020 match and has made a career out of selling quirky Scots products including Irn Bru bathsalts. Dad-of-two John hopes the 1.5km map, near Jedburgh, Scottish Borders, will encourage people to go out for a walk as they can complete it in an hour. The vast outline is mown into a grass field. It took two months to design and needs to be mown twice a week, which takes 1.5 hours.

John said: “Given what the country has been through over the last year or so, I wanted to create something fun to celebrate not just our great nation, but also our national team’s return to the Euros. Outside is where it’s going to be at this summer, and how else could you get around the whole of our great country in less than 60 minutes, at the same time as grabbing a bit of healthy exercise and fresh air?".
