This is the travel guide to Scotland that replaces a tour guide. It answers the questions you'd ask a friend who lived there. Which places are really worth seeing? Which are overrated? What restaurants shouldn't be missed? Where are the great places tourists haven't yet discovered? If time is short and you need to make the most of it, this is the book for you. It doesn't boss you around, but it offers candid advice and takes account of your taste. Just like a friend would, in fact.
