While this may be out of date in places, it is still a handy and informative guide to Scotland including its history, the importance and influence of the clans and the majesty of its mountains. It inlcudes hundreds of places to visit from castles and forts to manor houses and golf courses, and of course a whiskey distillery or three. Each place has a description about its history and why you should visit and leaves you with more options than you know what to do with. The layout is a little old fashioned which does make this a little harder to use as a travel guide when compared to modern guides but there are still plenty of maps and illustrations to guide you, you just need to flip back and for a bit.
