Summary: Scotland
Review: A high quality production.I've never been to Scotland but this little book paints a beautiful picture that caused me to realize I want to go even more. The descriptions are not too long or wordy, but give plenty of information about specific areas and events. You'll be introduced to Scotland region by region and seasonally as well. There's a complete feast for the eyes in the many picutres presented in the book. Pictures of cities, countryside, events, and wildlife are plentiful and enjoyable. Scotland here we come, in person or through the pages of this compact guide.

Summary: Excellent overview
Review: Fanatastic book if you are thinking of visiting Scotland but are not sure which parts to visit. Maps and drawings are great; cutways of castles and homes very interesting; sections on history and culture very good. 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. Hard to believe there is this much good information in a 200 page book. A classic Eyewitness Travel Guide.

Summary: No, don't use this. Really.
Review: I like Eyewitness Guides a lot, particularly for their glossy graphics combined with comprehensive information, but this really doesn't make the cut. How is it possible to cram Scotland into 224 pages? Well, it is not. Besides having very poor coverage on Glasgow and particularly Edinburgh, it also has - well, more poor coverage. Maps for the bigger islands in Northern Scotland are sorely lacking. More effort has really got to be invested in making this guide before it is worth your money. I know DK can make some really great guides, so it saddens me that they are now churning out trash like this.
