We used this book recently during a sojourn to the Scottish Borders. We travelled extensively on several of the suggested routes and overall found the book to have well thought out circular routes that took you on journeys you were unlikely to have planned yourself. Some of the details of the places en-route were a bit sketchy, so you may need to supplement this guide with another. Personally, we used "Scotland The Best" by Peter Irvine to suggest places to eat and for finding walks along with "CAMRA Good Beer Guide" to suggest a place for a decent pint after the walk - Don't Drink and Drive though!.

fabulous. doesn't take the place of a travel guide- recommend rough guide. really really great layout, pics, maps. Wish they included driving times in these things- second closest is mileage charts between all main towns on each tour.

Despite a different title and cover photo this book is the same as the AA Book of Best Scottish Driving Tours. Don't buy both - they are the same book.
