The latest edition of the bestselling travel guide to Scotland is unrivalled in its depth and quality of coverage of this beautiful and varied country. From the energetic nightlife of Glasgow to the peaceful calm of the Western Isles, the Rough Guide provides the reader with up-to-date and insightful commentary, advice and reviews.
A 24-page full-colour introduction gives the authors' lowdown on the best experiences and attractions the country has to offer, from the dramatic West Highland railway to the annual Edinburgh Festival. Throughout the guide there is practical advice on a host of outdoor activities, such as 'bagging a munroe', skiing in the Cairngorms and whale-watching off Gairloch. For the less active, there are informed accounts of the rich arts and cultural attractions such as the Dundee Contemporary Arts Centre and the prehistoric standing stones of Lewis. Detailed listings sections provide reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink and reliable practical information on everything from public transport to pub opening hours.
