Their histories are never as entertaining as Rick Steves’, but everything else about them is great for a traveler looking for economic options.

If you are traveling by car, have time and want to see as much as possible, this is a great book. You will need a good road map also but everything else is in this book. We were traveling by camping van and it was somewhat helpful in finding camping sites but if camping, you may also want a more extensive, up to date camping book. Having the book broken down into small areas helped planning where to go and what we had to give up due to time constraints.

I have a lot of faith in The Rough Guides having relied on them for several countries I have cycled through. This one is up to expectations with interesting sections on the Orkney and Shetland Isles plus the expected titbits on whisky and other items associated with the culture of the Scots.
Scotland delightfully complicates the often confusing English language. for example a hill can be a ben, a mount, a brae or if high enough, a Munro…Munro bagging and other outdoor pursuits are included. Maps a good and so are the selected illustrations. As with all Rough Guides I like the Things not to Miss near the start of the guide. The Rough Guide importantly also helps with the environmental issues of travelling.

Overall, this helped me and my wife plan ahead tremendously! My only gripe was the small font b/c of sooo much information in the guide. Because of this guide we went and saw Glamis Castle and had one of the best days of our trip! I will be returning again soon to revisit family, but hopefully to get a chance to see more of the highlands and northern Scotland. This guide is coming with me again!
