Usage

1. Open blank QGIS project

2. Open python console

3. Set projection to British grid, EPSG code 277000

4. Use the map to x = 512915 y = 120728 (first coordinate to be plotted), I use Openstreetmap to zoom out a bit shots will increment 12.5m

5. Run the script (you could add the shapefile boundary if you want)
