Riassunto

The true Scot's insider's guide to the very best Scotland has to offer.

Whether you live in Scotland or are visiting, why settle for anything second-rate when you can be guided to so much that is superb? Peter Irvine's personal guide points you towards the best places to stay (whatever your budget), the best beaches, the best ice-cream, the best hill walks, the best bakers, the best spooky places, the best seafood, the best places for kids, the best ceildhs, and so the list goes on.

However well you know Scotland, Peter Irvine will guide you to something excitingly new. That's why it remains the only guide to Scotland that the Scots themselves buy. Scotland the Best was first published in 1993. Since then its reputation has grown and it has been widely praised in reviews, won awards from the Tourist industry and, above all, delighted readers from all over the world.
In this new edition, every recommendation has been reassessed to see whether it is still worthy of inclusion, and the selection criteria has become even more stringent. With clear colour mapping from Collins and website links for all entries, planning your trip has never been easier.

Quirky, personalized and informed, Peter Irvine's guide gives you what other travel guides only claim to - a true Scot's insider's guide.

Recensione:

'the book is also a gospel, a love poem to Scotland and a patriotic tract'
The Observer

'Nobody tells it better...All that's wonderful about Scotland is in the book' Daily Express

'Infallible and quite brilliant'
Daily Telegraph

'Makes all other guides to Scotland redundant'
The Sunday Times

'The only guide worth a damn'
The Scotsman

'he has been a driving force in Scottish tourism' Ecosse (Supp. To the Sunday Times - Scottish Edition)

'Irvine has also become quite the figurehead for Scottish tourism' Aberdeen Press & Journal

'Apart from a clever structure and the highest journalistic standards, this book is a joy. The clever thing about such opinionated copy is that pretty soon one picks up the character of the writer, and thus can get a much more accurate and tactile impression of a place than from so-called even handed reports. This book can only enhance the pleasure of visiting or living in Scotland'
Amazon
