5.0 out of 5 stars Oxford Archaeological Guides: Scotland, 3 April 2003
By Paul Hunt (Durham United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent guide. Gives informative descriptions of the sites featured. Has a very useful ratings system for sites, ranging from a site that is so good that it is worth visiting in its own right to sites that are worth visiting if you're in the area for other reasons, or because the setting itself is a pleasure to visit. A must for those interested in visiting sites of archaeological interest in Scotland.

2.0 out of 5 stars Meagre, 21 Sep 2009
By Joolz (Spain) - See all my reviews
Several reviewers of the series have pointed out that something seems to have gone amiss with the publisher's plans, or lack of same, for this series. At 243 pages, the selection of sites in this guide is simply too meagre, and if Ireland gets over 550 pages in the same series, there is something wrong here.
Take the important site of Glenelg. The two main and most visible brochs are mentioned. Euan MacKie in his 1975 guide mentions that there are in fact two other brochs nearby, and describes them. This is information I want to know, but not a mention here.
Other annoyances are, for example, that the word "Skye" appears neither in the table of contents nor in the index, and information on Skye, such as it is, is buried in the middle of a chapter called Highland South. Once you've found Skye, the authors don't mention the accessible St Columba's isle near Skeabost, nor Annait on the road to Stein.
I'm glad I took MacKie and left this one at home - there's a lot of work to do before this one is worth having.
