Questionnaire

Dear Visitor,

We are researching the possibility a route-planner which will allow our users to navigate between points of interest or attractions which they intend to visit. The result will be a travel guide which can accompany you on a journey and provide directions as well as historical, architectural and geographical information along your route drawn from the Gazetteer for Scotland.

This questionnaire lets you give suggestions regarding your experience of the Gazetteer website, to allow us to improve the service further.
