This latest DK Eyewitness Guide is an excellent one-stop resource for planning a vacation in Scotland. It offers a terrific combination of pictures, maps, facts and commentary, more than enough to allow the visitor to find not only the major tourist attractions but also some of the unique places and events off the beaten path that may be even more worthwhile as destinations.
This Eyewitness Guide includes a nice history of Scotland, up to and including the most recent debate over devolution, as well as practical information on travel, customs, money, safety, and climate. There are some good tips on what to eat and what to get as uniquely Scottish souvenirs. The cut-away sketches and diagrams of castles and other historical sites will increase the visitor's appreciation of some wonderfully interesting venues, such as the castles at Edinburgh and Sterling. The guide even manages to work in a few tips on where to hike. This reviewer and his wife have found previous editions of this guide, supplemented by local maps and the websites listed in the guide, to be entirely adequate to plan and enjoy weeks in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. "DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Scotland" is very highly recommended.

I bought this for my husband and he loves it. It has been very useful for planning a trip to Scotland. He found two or three things in the book that he had not known about previously including the fact that his current credit card would probably not be accepted there. Very helpful guide.

These are excellent travel guides.. A side note, however, is that they weigh quite a bit, like a pound or so each. As fussy as the airlines can be these days about the 50# weight limit for luggage. We travelled to Europe recently with four of these, but gave them away before returning to the U.S. so we would have room for more souvenirs.
