Inside This Book (Learn More)

First Sentence
The view as you walk out of Edinburgh's Waverley train station is probably the finest first impression of any city in the world - the castle battlements rising behind the Greek temple of the National Gallery, with the lush greenery of Princes Street Gardens in the foreground. Read the first page

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointing coverage...., 27 Jul 2000

By	adh (Stonehaven, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scotland (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)

We own a guest house in Stonehaven, Scotland and my motivation for purchasing this book was to put it in the Guest's Lounge as a resource for tourists to the area.

Unfortunately, for a book that is supposed to be specialising in Scotland, found it a bit lacking in coverage. Even the Rough Guide to Britain (which has 4 countries to cover) managed to get the attractions in and around Stonehaven in! (e.g. Harbour, Dunnottar Castle, Birdwatching etc).

I'm off to purchase Scotland - The Rough Guide. Hopefully it'll be more useful for our guests...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, 15 Dec 2008

By	RR Chatterjee "Journeyman" (Croydon, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Scotland (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)

This member of the renowned Lonely Planet series was an essential tool in helping me plan and conduct a family holiday tour around the highlands. All the information I wanted was supplied, including phone numbers of key helpers (such as lone operators - real heroes of rural Scotland - to complete otherwise isolating gaps in transport).
Scotland is a gloriously living place, so changes occur which would account for occasionally being out of date, as complained of by other contributors. From my summer's experience, each element appeared current and reliable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of date on Scotland, 12 Jun 2007

By	N. Roger "hats" (dijon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Scotland (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)

A book that needs to update its view of Scotland, especially on its comments of Glasgow. Visit Glasgow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very accurate and easy to follow guide.
The Scotland Lonely Planet guide gave us very good advice about road trips, maps, accomodation and fun! I believe I will buy another Lonely Planet guide next time I travel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect partner to the top 10 guide
Lonely planet - whilst it does consist mainly of written pages with just a few photographs and maps, is a perfect partner to the top 10. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great as always
This lonely planet book provides quite good coverage with maps, especially if you're an independent traveller, but still need some info. (although it's a bit out-of-date)
