This is the perfect book from which to plan my trip to Scotland. Looks like most things I need to know are in this book and some great pictures as well. This book also recommends other books that may interest me.
 No good maps, no travel optionsJan 07, 2010
Not bad but I would have preferred a few more options for self tours, I thought that is what lonely planet was all about. Most of the time they recommend spending 3 weeks in each town to fully experience things, unfortunately that is no help to the average 2 week vacationer. Also no good maps, but better maps are available in other travel guides so I might look around before buying this book.
Great breadth of info, barely adequate maps.Jul 02, 2009
Chuck full of information about paces to visit, eat, and sleep. Also has a lot of information on contemporary events and culture. Where it's lacking is in it's maps and depth. The maps are barely adequate and hard to read because they are small. Granted, travel book maps should never be your primary map(it should be michelin or something), it's still nice to have something useable from the book. This was not a problem for me, because i also bought the rough guide to Scotland, which has great maps, but a little less breadth. If you combine those two books(lonelyplanet and Rough guide) you have a winning combo.
Excellent SourceNov 03, 2008
This is a great guide for Scotland. I've looked up everything that was recommended even in the smallest of towns and found it in this book.

Perfect Travel GuideOct 16, 2008
This book was soooo useful! I was in a large group of constantly bickering people and this book was great in helping people actually agree on where we were going to go. The descriptions and suggestions for local places to eat, and especially the hints for places off the beaten path made for the best traveling I've ever had. Will def buy from this series again the next time I travel.
