Scotland's Best - Travel Guide

The fiercely independent little country of Scotland may lie on Europe's fringes, but it's so packed with history and charm that exploring it is well worth a week or two of anyone's time.

Many visitors will already be familiar with many of the classic Scottish set pieces before they arrive: tranquil lochs, heathery glens; hilltop castles beneath brooding mountains; pretty villages beside idyllic beaches; and homey pubs serving good local whiskies. All are fairly easy to find, but of course there's far more besides, particularly in Scotland's two great and very happening cities: Edinburgh and Glasgow.

By using around 700 photos and 30,000 words SCOTLAND'S BEST will help you zero in on the sorts of things you will enjoy most on your trip to Scotland. This is partly done by listing key attractions in several INTERESTS and by weaving many of these together into a few ITINERARIES for those simply wanting bit of everything. The itineraries also include suggestions of where you might get a good bite to eat along the way.
