James Gracie Knihy

Describes the scenery, history and culture of Scotland. This fifth edition also provides information on the more secluded places of interest and places to stay, eat and drink.

Within these pages, you'll find bucolic Highland panoramas dotted with sheep and portraits of castles-some of which, [author, Gracie] concedes, are so much the better for existing in a state of romantic ruin. But there's a sense of balance at work: Edinburgh may be showcased on one page as a city paved with antiquated cobblestones while on the next it's revealed as a contemporary capital-animated by its vibrant citizens. ~Metrosource
