Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lonely Planet Scotland's Highlands and Islands (Lonely Planet Scotland's Highlands & Islands) (Paperback)
As advertised, this book contains lots of good and concise information about the history of the Highlands, as well as options for dining, sleeping, and touring. Published in 2002, the book is slightly dated as far as pricing is concerned, but other things change little over the years. The tome is geared toward the hostel/B&B traveler and lists most hostels and B&B's along with cheap eats. LP does a superb job with helpful hints in all of their publications and this book is no exception. Highly recommended.
