Customer Reviews

Not good enough, not much details..
I used this for my recent trip to Scotland. I only visited Highlands so I can comment only about the part of book that covers Highlands.
The book doesn't really cover anything in much details and doesn't provide any useful information that you can't find on any free websites on internet.

I was hoping this guide will cover much of the interesting things that can be done in Scotland but it only covered the things that you can check with anyone who has briefly visited Highlands.
