Scotland

The Highlands, unknown sights and Celtic traditions: This book is for travellers who want to get to know many different facets of Scotland. The 50 tour suggestions and travel ideas are "off the beaten track", but still mostly within a day's drive and easy to reach. Readers who want to be active receive tips for hikes in the little-known Lowlands and Highlands. Boat trips take you to uninhabited islands and to breeding colonies of puffins and other seabirds. Secluded Bronze Age forts await your discovery. Travellers heading for Glasgow, Dundee or Edinburgh experience the more unknown side of Scotland's big cities. A small but fine selection of cosy restaurants and traditional pubs round off the suggestions. Along the way, you will gain insights into the history, geology and culture of the country - as well as into the art of the whisky makers. In Gaelic it's Fàilte! - Welcome to Scotland!
