Scotland Highlands and Islands Footprint Guide - review
Just picked up a copy of the new edition of the Scotland Highlands and islands Footprint book. We are on a road trip around the outer hebrides and various other parts of northern Scotland and it's already been invaluable. If you're hitting this part of the world, I would definitely recommend it.

I purchased this book for a May 2009 trip to the North and North West Highlands of Scotland (Loch Lomand and Loch Ness). This book is a definite must for any visitor, it is very readable, has great long and short visit itinerary recommendations, history and accommodation / restaurants for all budgets. I do recommend it and will be using it again to plan future trips to the Highlands.

ESSENTIAL READING
A very well organized ad well written publication. I am going on a "grand tour" next year and have found loads of useful info from this book. A must for every traveller to Scotland. And very readable too
