2.0 out of 5 stars Good on sites, but unrealiable on practicalities, 25 Jul 2005
By A Customer
This was the only book I could find in the local bookstore when my husband and I decided to make a spontaneous trip to Orkney. Being written by locals and recently up-dated, I thought we were set. The Penriths set everything into nice context, and provided adequate descriptions of the main sites, but I felt really let down when trying to plan the trip, for example, how much is reasonable to do in day? The distances aren't great on Mainlnd, but how long does it take to travel on the (mostly) one-lane roads? My greatest difficulty was in trying to reserve accommodation; either the recommendations were no longer accepting B&B guests, or they had TRIPLED the price. After this experience, I did not trust anything they published.
I really would not recommend this book. I ended up booking my accommodation through VisitScotland, and when we arrived we found that their guides, long with those of Historic Scotland, provided all of the information we needed, for free.
