If Carlsberg did guide books...., 8 Aug 2009 - I must admit that I have found this book to be one of the most useful travel guides I have come across. The presentation is friendly and highly informative and it is beautifully illustrated. The photography is first rate and provides a visual treat while the maps are excellent and a great aid to getting about. All the main islands are given good coverage. Whether your interests lie with the modern flora or fauna, or in the abundant archaeology or in the more recent history of the area, I'm sure you will readily find answers to your questions. I certainly have. I have yet to visit the Orkney Islands, but already feel familiar with them and at home after browsing this brilliant publication. And if you feel you still need more information, it also provides an extensive reading list to aid you. I'm very much looking forward to travelling north with this newly discovered travel companion.
orkneys guide, 2 Aug 2010 - This book is fantastic! Very detailed and easy to read. It's the only book you need for a trip to the Orkneys. Can't think of anything that has been left out of the book! Brilliant!
