Book Description

Series: Berlitz Pocket Guides | Publication Date: February 1, 2002

Scotland is a land steeped in romantic tradition and stormy history. Its Highlands, islands, and Lowlands are a riot of natural beauty and one of the few remaining wilderness frontiers in all of Europe. The cultural mosaic, like the scenery, is hugely varied. Every summer Edinburgh, the intellectually and architecturally stimulating capital, is the scene of a distinguished international festival of music and the arts. You can visit some 150 of Scotland's 1,200 castles - some intact, others respectable ruins. There are also unusual museums, baronial mansions, ancient abbeys, formal gardens, and archeological sites that invite exploration. With over 40 million copies sold worldwide, this popular portable travel guide series covering over 100 destinations is now completely redesigned, easier to use, and updated for today's discerning traveller.
