Synopsis
Scotland has always been a popular destination with American visitors, who are attracted by the dramatic scenery, warm hospitality, the finest malt whiskies, and world-renowned golf courses. Many also come to trace ancestors and to investigate the history and traditions of the clans. Information on all this and more can be found in the Cadogan Guide to Scotland. The author guides readers on a tour through Scotland region by region, taking in ghost-spotting at Glamis Castle, a stroll in the celestial gardens at Finlaystone, a chilly swim in the waters of Loch Ness, and a visit to the hill forts and stone circles of Perthshire. Fully revised and updated, the guide includes color photographs, comprehensive maps, travel information and the most up-to-the-minute listings, which will help readers choose between the splendor of Gleneagles and the warmth of a cozy bed and breakfast for a genuine local experience.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
'No poem can perfectly evoke the evening sun, dipping below the horizon beyond islands that stand out in dark relief against a blazing sky, nor the heart-stopping sound of a lone piper playing a graveside lament in a remote highland glen. And no artist has yet done full justice to the scenery: smoke-grey hills; stark mountain ranges; wild moorland carpeted with mulberry-red heather; mossy glens shaded by rowans and gnarled oaks; rivers and burns swirling over slabs of granite, and slicing through steep-sided gorges into lochs where peat-coloured water is overlaid by fragments of mist.'
