5.0 out of 5 stars Concision at its finest, December 31, 1999

A great writer once said that brevity is the soul of wit. The writers of this book obviously took this advice to heart. The entries in this travel guide are clear and to the point. Even better, I found them to be very accurate. They give enough information to determine if a location is worth going to based on personal interests and time constraints, all in a size that was easy to carry around on my many treks across the countryside. This guide was my bible during my 4 weeks in Scotland. Couldn't have managed without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best travel guides available., May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Michelin Green Guide: Scotland (Michelin Green Tourist Guides (English)) (Paperback)

Michelin Green Guides provide the traveler with some of the most easy-to-read, concise travel books available. If you want personal opinions and a lot of fluff, don't buy this book. This is for the traveler who wants the facts presented in a clear, organized format so that he/she can make up their own mind and develop an itinerary to suit their interests. It includes 'basic' traveler information (weather, tourist centers, etc.), route maps, historical overviews, structural descriptions, time tables, admission prices, and more. Every time we travel, we always have a Michelin Guide tucked away.

My wife and I went to Scotland last summer for an in depth tour, and this book was indespensible. I read probably 15 books on the subject, and this was the best of the lot. The main drawback of the book is it is organized alphabetically, which makes it a little difficult to use in the planning stages, so I would use the Eyewitness Guides or Fodor's Exploring Scotland to plan the outline of the trip geographically, and then use this one to get into details. This was also a dynamite book to use on the ground in Scotland, so make sure you take it with you. It had many, surprisingly deep, broad, and informative self-guided tours of sites, some of which were indispensible for us since they were our only source of information on them (e.g. some sites didn't have much info avaialable, like the ruins, and some we didn't want to buy the guidebook)
