Synopsis
A new concept in guide books - here is a selection of more than 20 "trails" for the independent-minded traveller. Trails in time and imagination as well as in space, their themes take the traveller into the heart of Scottish history and culture. Follow the route of the '45 Jacobite Rising, or explore the merchant towns and their traditional buildings, investigate the beginnings of geology, or trace Edinburgh's intriguing "underworld". At last here is a guide that goes beyond the surface detail to make the "Scottish experience" available to everyone.
