5.0 out of 5 stars World Traveler, May 6, 2003

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concision at its finest, December 31, 1999

By	Margaret A Mohney (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Michelin Green Guide: Scotland (Michelin Green Tourist Guides (English)) (Paperback)

A great writer once said that brevity is the soul of wit. The writers of this book obviously took this advice to heart. The entries in this travel guide are clear and to the point. Even better, I found them to be very accurate. They give enough information to determine if a location is worth going to based on personal interests and time constraints, all in a size that was easy to carry around on my many treks across the countryside. This guide was my bible during my 4 weeks in Scotland. Couldn't have managed without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide., January 4, 2005

By	N. Charles (Illinois United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
