Great Resource

It is pretty hard to cover the entire country, with travel tips, in only 400 pages, but Fodor's does an excellent job. Not many photographs, it is all business describing locations and sites. This would be an excellent book if you are planning to go to Scotland and are not sure what part (the Eyewitness Scotland guide is perfect for that also, and has a lot more photographs). Although I knew which part I was going to and had travel books for those specific areas, the Fodor's guide had information in it about those areas the other books did not. With Scotland, there are many side trips in all directions, and this book can give you some ideas. Well written, concise, informative: A great resource for the money.

Great Guide

My husband and I found this book extremely helpful- he was able to pick out the golf courses he wanted to visit, I was able to pick out the castles I wanted to see; the hotels the book recommended were excellent; and the practical advice about driving, eating, tipping and understanding the local accent was great.
