The highlights are illustrated with colour photography, and the guide includes: detailed coverage of the cultural attractions of Glasgow and Edinburgh; objective recommendations on the best places to stay, eat and drink; features on special interest activities from golf and fishing to walking and hiking; and colour maps to help plan a trip.
When the rain stops falling and the mist clears there is no more beautiful place on Earth than the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Europe's last great wilderness. If there is a heaven, then it must look like this, but let's hope the petrol's cheaper. Hailed as the best guidebook to the region, "Footprint's Scotland Highlands & Islands" gives you everything you need to get the most out of your trip.
Edinburgh is one of the great European cities, with a distinctive architectural heritage, the famous International Arts Festival and the added status of the arrival of the Scottish parliament. This pocket guide gets under the skin of the city, covering it area by area, with critical reviews of restaurants, hotels, bars, cafes and pubs, including "Five of the Best" ratings, as well as the festivals, from the world's greatest arts festival to the biggest New Year's Eve party in Europe. The book also covers: shopping - how to get the most out of retail therapy; watering holes - where to enjoy the city's liberal licensing laws; top music venues - the low-down on vibes from folk to flava; and accounts of all the sights from the castle to Leith.
Including the most up-to-date and informed listings, this pocket guide to Glasgow contains advice on getting there and getting around.
