Part of a series of British Isles travel guides, this is a comprehensive guide to the whole of Scotland from Edinburgh's art galleries to the beaches of Harris. Written by an author who has a close knowledge and understanding of the country, it provides background information on Scotland's culture and history, while giving information for travellers on practicalities and activities. The highlights are illustrated with colour photography, and the guide includes: detailed coverage of the cultural attractions of Glasgow and Edinburgh; objective recommendations on the best places to stay, eat and drink; features on special interest activities from golf and fishing to walking and hiking; and colour maps to help plan a trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great detailed overview, 20 April 2001
By A Customer
During the past few years, I have bought several Scotland Guides but was never completely satisfied with them. As a Geography student and a great Scotland fan, I certainly expected a lot. This book served my expectations and provides excellent information on transport, background, sights, accomodation and whatever else one needs to know about Scotland. It really lives up to its reputation to provide an objective overview.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Accurate and Informed, 18 April 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Footprint Scotland Handbook: The Travel Guide (Paperback)
there are so many guide books, it can be very hard to choose one before visiting a destination. Well, I think this is the one to choose if you are planning to visit Scotland. It is much more informative than some better known publishers and really covers the whole country. This with Scotland The Best by Pete Irvine are the two books you need before visiting Scotland. Both are a little quirky but Footprint also delivers on the detail as well.
