Description
Explore the enchanting islands of Scotland with this absorbing and beautiful guide.
Around the coast of Scotland there are hundreds of islands, from bare, rugged skerries to lush dominions of history and deep-rooted culture. Each offers a unique haven to explore, whether you enjoy sparkling-white sandy beaches, miles of untouched land beneath your feet, nature-spotting among otters, puffins, seals and more, sampling the finest whisky and cheeses, or learning more about Scotland's history.
Exploring Scotland's Islands describes the main island groups in all their moods, and focuses on what gives these islands such magical and lasting appeal. This book is a glorious celebration in words, maps, illustrations and photographs of some of the most superb scenery in Scotland. Discover why these unique isles draw those lucky enough to find them back to visit whenever they can.
Among captivating descriptive text and beautiful photography, Exploring Scotland's Islands also provides the reader with essential visitor information such as transport links, the most inspiring visitor attractions and sights to see, cafés and restaurants not to be missed, and where you can stay to make your visits all the more special.
