Editorial Reviews

Review

'The only guide worth a damn' The Scotsman 'Infallible and quite brilliant' Daily Telegraph 'Apart from a clever structure and the highest journalistic standards, this book is a joy. The clever thing about such opinionated copy is that pretty soon one picks up the character of the writer, and thus can get a much more accurate and tactile impression of a place than from so-called even handed reports. This book can only enhance the pleasure of visiting or living in Scotland' Amazon 'The plain truth is that this book does not put foot wrong: every one of the places that I have visited on Mr Irvine's recommendation has lived up to or exceeded its billing' Amazon


Product Description

This guide will help you experience the very best of Scotland. Whether visiting on pleasure or business, why settle for second-rate when you can be guided to so much that is outstanding? Here are thousands of recommendations that include the very finest of everything: places to stay and eat (whatever your budget), beaches and hill walks, bakers, haunted sites, places to take the kids, and more. This 2004 edition of Scotland the Best—now expanded, updated, and revised—is the finest ever. Peter Irvine has reassessed every recommendation to determine whether it’s still worthy of inclusion and added newly discovered gems to all categories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant resource, September 16, 2004
We just returned from Scotland having based most of our travel decisions on this book. The author was dead on in every instance. We found some of the most wonderful and out -of -the-way places with his help. I highly recommend purchasing any travel book by this author and will do so again.

1.0 out of 5 stars disliked this format, October 19, 2005
This book is designed not by region, but by an endless lists of "bests". I found this inconvenient when travelling because anytime I arrived in a new city I had to cross reference multiple pages from the index. Additionally the descriptions are too brief and often do not give adequate directions/location of the described restaurant, etc. The only time my husband and I were lost on our whole trip was trying to follow the vague directions in this book for a restaurant that was listed without a phone number or address. I would not purchase this book again.
