The writing style of the author makes it very enjoyable reading. This is a book for the coffee table not to be used as a actual hands on guide in Scotland. It weakest point is detailed information on the areas and the attractions. Order here . The guide contains some maps and no pictures.
All maps are in black and white.
A nice addition was the inclusion of a good Rand McNally map of the entire country. The information covers all areas of the country but only briefly. It does include detailed information on the attractions covers. This was the weakest of the guides we reviewed. The strenght of this book is the color pictures.
