This review is from: Castles of Scotland (Collins Gems) (Paperback)

I personnaly bought and used the 1994 edition of this great book to plan a trip including Scotland. It's size and details were great as an "on the road" reference. Now I can really say-"Been there, Done that, Got the shot glass from Eilean Donan"
