Special features, colour photographs, superb colour maps and plans are found throughout the book and the well-organised Practical Information section ensures you can make the most of your stay.
This review is from: Baedeker's Scotland (Paperback)
This is one of the finest travel guides I've seen for Scotland. It contains a very detailed map of the entire country (rather than only parts), including road, rail and ferry routes, and covers the Highlands right up to Orkney and the Shetland Islands -- two places not well-covered in most books. More comprehensive than Fodor's or Frommer's guides to the country. The book would receive five stars if it included weather and climate information; otherwise, the comprehensive map and listings of contacts and places are excellent.
