I have traveled to 15 countries that Michelin Green Guides cover, have used Michelin guides in every instance, and they are consistently the best publication on the market. Dead on and very savvy, they fit in your back pocket and have been a wonderful companion to me over the years.

The Scotland guide is no exception. Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet, and well worthy of a visit.

This book is well organized and it was a great help to have the hours, directions, admission price, etc. The fold-out maps were a plus. This size makes it easy to fit into a backpack or purse.

The first part of the book has good information on currency, local customs, etc. However, the rest of the book is organized ALPHABETICALLY by the name of the city, not by region! If you want to visit Fort Williams and Spean Bridge (which are about 20 miles apart), you have to look under the F's and under the S's (over 100 pages apart) to find information about these two towns, rather than being able to turn a page or two, as the Frommer's or Eyewitness guides permit. Not user friendly at all. An alphabetical listing of cities/towns can be presented in the index, where it is easily referenced. The body of a good travel book is organized by region.

Needless to say, I didn't even bother to pack the book when I went on my trip.
