Product Description

Product Description
Explore every corner of this unspoilt and dramatic area with the fully-revised fourth edition of the "Rough Guide to Scottish Highlands and Islands". From walking along the deserted beaches in South Harris to whale-watching in Mull - inspired by dozens of photos - the 24-page, full-colour introduction highlights all the 'things-not-to-miss'. In addition, there are two, brand-new, 4-page, full-colour inserts: 'Wildlife' and 'Food and Drink'. The guide includes listings of all the top hotels, guest houses and the best places to eat and sample the local whiskies. There is plenty of practical advice for exploring the great 'Scottish' outdoors, from bagging munros to skiing on The Cairngorm mountains. The guide comes complete with maps and plans for the entire region.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have book for Scottish Island-hopping, 4 Jan 2001
By Melanie J. Torrance "delamitri11" (Aberdeenshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fantastic book which I'd thoroughly recommend to anyone taking a tour around the western highlands and islands of Scotland. Even though I'm from Aberdeen, I bought it for our honeymoon to Skye and Oban as even we Scots know little about the attractions of our own country and it's the kind of book which is not just aimed at international tourists. It's now the most dog-eared book I own, with many of the pages bringing back memories of our trip. Full of no-nonsense information on accommodation and restaurants, it is matter of fact and absolutely invaluable. It is uncompromising, with the authors being decidedly straight-talking in their reviews of places which they felt had little appeal. It enabled us to plan day trips to places of interest and navigate our way around the isles, making sure we missed nothing. Buy it before you go, use it to make travel arrangements and be sure to take it with you everywhere you go on your trip. Bargain buy, won't date quickly, simple to use. Get it on your bookshelf now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide book with honest and reliable information., 28 Oct 2001
We purchased this book prior to our honeymoon visit for 2 weeks on the Isle of Skye , Sept 2001.
We have used the Rough Guides before on trips to the Greek Islands and appreciate the variety of information available. This book is useful for pre planning your trip to the Highlands & Islands but is also indispensable on a daily basis also.

It really opens up the wide variety of interesting places on Skye and the Highlands while giving you essential travel information and useful reviews on where to eat and places to visit. Once again the Rough Guide series has proved itself the most reliable and consistent guide book for the traveller, whether he be hiking or staying at he best hotels - there is something for everyone in the usual clear and concise manner. If your are looking for one book - buy this one !!

1.0 out of 5 stars The Rough Guide Is Just Too Rough To Be Of Any Practical Use, 6 Jul 2008
By A. Currie (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Highlands and Islands is too big an area of sparse facilities for this book to be of any use. Its a rough guide to a rough area which sort or tells you what may be available. The traveller is much better served by doing a bit of web based research than on buying this book. Its just far too general. I have just returned from the visit to the Highlands and Islands. After my first port of call I put this book down and didn't pick it up again, it just took up space. Not worth the bother.
