Résumé :

This newly revised title in the acclaimed Green Guide series gives a unique insight into the country's turbulent past and its ancient heritage. Prehistoric sites, austere castles and rugged ruins contrast with stately mansions and villages of vernacular charm. Scotland's great scenic beauty - placid lochs and lonely mountains, beautiful islands and spectacular cliffs, bleak and desolate moors and rich farmland - is complemented by colourful pageantry. Descriptions of hundreds of attractions classified according to the famous Michelin star-rating system : *** (Worth a journey, ** (Worth a detour)and * (Interesting). Three summary maps showing the principal sights, recommended touring programmes and places to stay. Informative essays in the introduction presenting background material on the country, its history, art and architecture and traditions. Practical information packed with useful addresses and travel tips, information on leisure activities and sports, a calendar of events and admission times and charges. Illustrated with over 80 full-colour photographs and line drawings. Over 35 detailed local maps, town and site plans.
