Marko,

Thanks for the comments.

mkgmap came up with many errors relating to 'anti-islands' - I suspect 
these are round Scotland, and I'll leave it to local people to sort them 
out!

This seems possible. On closer inspection, I saw a little flooding on 
the England/Wales border too.

I think I'll leave this to someone with a bigger computer and more time 
and expertise. At present, I am not a JOSM or OSMOSIS user.

Thanks for the interest and advice.
