Good beginner's guide

We're planning a trip for next fall, and this has been a great beginner's guide for us. I like how the segments are broken down by area of Scotland and type of activity you're looking for. It also has a section on the best time to travel and other helpful hints. Another favorite part is the recommended trips and itineraries if you have 1 week, 2 weeks or longer. I do wish there were more pictures. Apart from that, it looks like a great deal of time has gone into cataloguing favorite sites and suggesting restaurants, shopping areas and museums.

pretty good

This book is helpful. It gives you a feel for the neighborhoods of Edinburgh. Restaurant recommendations were very helpful. Maps helped. And it helped us get to where we had to go in Scotland. No photos, though.

Good book

Good book and very informative for planning a trip to Scotland (especially for someone who's never been).

Can't wait to go!

I am planning a family trip to visit my parents homeland. Scotland for Dummies has helped me to learn a great deal in a short time. I love the Stickers to highlight the places you want to go. The cheat sheets should prove valuable too.
