The first time I went to Scotland, I read several guidebooks in obsessive detail.

For this return trip, I picked one that would give me easy updates to the things I'll be seeing -- and that's this book. Hitting the best of the best across each region, and sharing practical information on lodging, transit, etc., this book is well-suited to those who will be sticking pretty much to the well-trod path.
