A savvy guide

This was our most used guidebook on a recent trip to Scotland. It is divided into a vast range of categories (including recommended places to stay and/or eat, interesting sights, hikes...) which are numbered and referenced on regional maps. The author also uses a check system to rate what he considers to be the most exceptional and unique. Wherever you might find yourself, you can check the map to see the recommendations for everything in that area (especially useful when you're on the road and looking for a place to eat). Our only complaint is that many items were included in more than one category with slightly different information in each listing - which results in numerous numbers for the same item on the maps. In spite of a few typos, we highly recommend this savvy and informative guide.

Scotland the Best

We have used this guide extensively in our many visits to Scotland. It's a little confusing to get the organizational structure but once you get it, it's a great guidebook. Much more info than any regular guidebook. And 95% of the time the descriptions and recommedations are right on. I won't go to Scotland without it.
