The National Library of Scotland has a digitisation project for older UK Ordnance Survey maps of the UK (not limited to Scotland) from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Site.
Included are the 6"/mi [10,000:1] of England, Wales and Scotland, the 25"/mi town plans [2500:1] and the large scale, 5'/mi [1000:1] plan of London.
They're integrated with Google Maps, e.g. here for the London map, so you can switch from 2014 to 1894.
A fascinating trove, and potentially very useful for UK based gaming, research or picking holes in historical novels.
The main NLS map index is also full of interesting stuff, as is this site.
