The Rough Guide to Scotland

The new, full-colour Rough Guide to Scotland is the definitive travel guide to this gem of a country.

In-depth coverage of its burgeoning food scene, artistic innovations and awe-inspiring wild places - from remote, Gaelic-speaking islands to untamed, ruggedly beautiful glens - takes you to the most rewarding spots, with striking colour photography bringing everything to life. Whether you're wild camping or staying in chic B&Bs, you can discover adventure and solitude in equal measure with our expert advice on where to spot wild dolphins, stunning hikes to deserted beaches and the best places to slurp seasonal oysters and "nose" original whiskies. The guide includes clear maps and insider reviews to take you straight to the best hotels, restaurants, bars and music venues for all budgets, ensuring that you won't miss a thing. Scotland is heaven for "slow travel", but the guide also includes extensive coverage of the country's premier cities, Edinburgh and Glasgow, plus details on all the best places to ski, surf and mountain bike if you fancy picking up the pace a little.
