Scotland the Best: The One True Guide Review

Scotland the Best: The One True Guide
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is a big hit with visitors and Scottish residents alike. Although the format is unconventional (lists of the best of X, where X ranges from upmarket hotels to spooky graveyards), it can be used to guide the tourist to the best that Scotland can offer. On the other hand, as a 'local', I've found it opened my eyes to places and things I might never have noticed on my own. And the witty commentary prevents the lists becoming too much like, well, lists....
The reviews of places to stay and eat are very accurate - I've had a lot of fun eating out in Edinburgh and elsewhere to check out the recommendations!
Only negative point - I find the map references irritating to interpret - the map section could be formatted and printed more clearly.

This is the guide to help you experience all that is excellent in Scotland. Whether visiting on pleasure or business, why settle for second-rate when you can be guided to so much that is superb? Scotland the Best! provides thousands of recommendations including the very best of nearly everything: places to stay and to eat (whatever your budget), beaches, ice cream, and hill walks, bakers, haunted sites, and seafood, places to take the kids, hear music, buy clothing. This new edition-now expanded, updated, and revised-is the best ever. Peter Irvine has reassessed every recommendation to see whether it is still worthy of inclusion and added newly discovered gems to all existing categories.
