I bought both this guide and the DK Eyewitness Scotland guide before my trip to Edinburgh. This handy, little, pocket guide was well worth every penny. It was much more informative, had great ideas and suggested fantastic, don't miss, sights. It has everything you need to have a great trip in a city you don't know. The fold out map was a great help too.

The food/restaurant section was hit and miss.A couple of the places we tried were fantastic...a couple of other, terrible. Do not do the Mexican food in Scotland despite what the guide book says. Enough said.

This is the only book you need. It fits in your purse/backpack. We wrote all over ours before we left and hit everything we wanted to do and see.

This little book is great! I plan on a vacation to Scotland and this book has been very informative to plan my vacation. I highly recommend it to everyone going there.

Great guide book that will fit easily into a backpack or other bag. Hits all the highlights without the history and other info in larger, heavier travel guide. Grab one for each city you plan to visit and take them with you!

I purchased this guidebook for my recent trip to Edinburgh Scotland and I was extremely pleased with all of the useful information. The book breaks down each area of the city and tells you what you can do there, good places to eat, and great pubs/clubs you can visit. Each section also has a map showing where each detailed location is. Also, in the back of the book there is a larger fold out map showing the whole city. Depending on how long you are staying, the book suggests itineraries to help you get the most out of your trip. The guidebook is a convenient size that fits easily into a purse or bag but is also easily carried without feeling weighed down. I would recommend this book to any one traveling to Edinburgh, especially if it is your first visit.
