I am planning a family trip to visit my parents homeland. Scotland for Dummies has helped me to learn a great deal in a short time. I love the Stickers to highlight the places you want to go. The cheat sheets should prove valuable too.

We're planning a trip for next fall, and this has been a great beginner's guide for us. I like how the segments are broken down by area of Scotland and type of activity you're looking for. It also has a section on the best time to travel and other helpful hints. Another favorite part is the recommended trips and itineraries if you have 1 week, 2 weeks or longer. I do wish there were more pictures. Apart from that, it looks like a great deal of time has gone into cataloguing favorite sites and suggesting restaurants, shopping areas and museums.

Good book and very informative for planning a trip to Scotland (especially for someone who's never been).

Whenever we travel to a new country we try to get 3 guide books: The Eyewitness Guide, the "For Dummies" Guide, & the Rick Steves' Guide.

They all have differing focus & information. Combined together you get a very comprehensive overview of where you'll be going so you can plan your time optimally.

Love the country love the book. The best books for travel by far, great series.

This book is helpful. It gives you a feel for the neighborhoods of Edinburgh. Restaurant recommendations were very helpful. Maps helped. And it helped us get to where we had to go

in Scotland. No photos, though.

This is a great guide! I've planned almost our entire trip based upon these reviews of lodgings, sites to visit, and dining. The book is easy to read, easy to follow, and very in-depth for the novice traveler. Wish a "dummy" guide existed for all countries!

this book showed me i am dummy in regards to traveling to scotland. i love every bit of it. a great resource!!!!!!!!!!!!!
