From the Publisher
Scotland is endowed with some of the most beautiful and
stunning scenery in the British Isles. From the desolate peaks of the
Highlands and rugged coastlines of the mainland and off-shore islands, to
the peaceful and fertile valleys of the Scottish Borders. But the visitor
can also find quiet villages, cosy market towns, neat fishing ports as well
as the history and culture of the larger cities such as Edinburgh.
