Excellent overview October 5, 2004
Format:Turtleback
Fantastic book if you are thinking of visiting Scotland but are not sure which parts of this beautiful country to visit. Maps and drawings are great; cutways of castles and homes very interesting; sections on history and culture excellent. The book divides Scotland into geographical regions, describing the climate and terrain of each, the highlights of the area, sites to see; even walking or touring maps to follow. Perfect for an overview of the country as a whole, and if you are planning to travel there, use this book to narrow down the parts of the country you want to visit and then get more specific information on them.
Hard to believe there is this much good information in a 200 page book. A classic Eyewitness Travel Guide.

The DK Eyewitness Guide to Scotland is a superb one book resource for planning a vacation in Scotland. DK's combination of pictures, maps, facts, and commentary allow the visitor to find not only the major tourist attractions but also the places and events off the beaten path that are often even more worthwhile. The Eyewitness guide includes a nice history of Scotland as well as practical information on travel, custons, money, safety, and climate, as well as tips on food and uniquely Scottish souvenirs. The cut-away sketches and diagrams of castles and historical sites increase the visitor's appreciation of the place. The guide provides some useful tips on places to hike. This reviewer and his wife found this guide, supplemented by local roadmaps, entirely adequate to plan and enjoy two weeks in the Scottish Highlands. This guide is highly recommended to the traveler planning a vacation in Scotland.

Scotland is a very diverse place and this travel guide does an excellent job of capturing all of the regions. It lays things out clearly and lets you plan a visit that encompasses all of Scotland or lets you really get down and focus on one region over another. It is very hard to find a good Scotland guide (that is not tied to a guide about Great Britain) and Eyewitness does the job. Highly recommend.

Eyewitness Travel Guides are always the best. We've used them before and with a planned trip to Scotland it was a "no-brainer" to choose this one.

Good book, but not great
The book had a good overview of everything to see and do, but I prefer the format of Lonely Planet or other books that go more indepth

Eyewitness Scotland
Beautiful pictures, great information on what to do, where to visit, street level information on walking routes. Cannot go wrong with an Eyewitness travel book!
