"5
out of 5 stars Colourful, thorough and informative, May
14, 2004 Reviewer: Michael Fawcett from Washington, Tyne
and Wear I recent travelled to the Western Isles of Scotland
on holiday - before the trip I wasnt able to find a book
to take with me as a guide. Just before boarding the ferry
from Ullapool to Stornoway, I flicked through this book
in a local book shop, and bought it immediately. Its thorough
but consice, full of excellent colour photos, but not
TOO many - and has excellent text descriptions of all
the places to visit along the length of the whole of the
islands, from the Butt of Lewis at the North to Berneray
at the South - it even includes St Kilda and and the Flannan
Islands! The book also includes travel information, and
a summary of the history, culture, archaeology, nature
and highlights. In summary - a really excellent book -
and on the trip I found other guides, but none as good
as this."
