Books, Maps & Other Resources Scotland / Scottish Genealogy & History 
BOOK - Classic Touring Routes in Scotland.
By: Adrian Gardiner Touring Scotland has been a popular holiday activity for decades and the attraction has not diminished in recent years — the country offers one of the last refuges for those wishing to experience some of Europe's most spellbinding and unspoiled landscapes. This highly illustrated book, which includes route maps, expertly guides the reader along a selection of the traditional touring routes well-known to the author — a travel writer and Scot himself. From Tyndrum to Inverness and Berwick-upon-Tweed to Edinburgh, the routes reveal the awe-inspiring beauty of the north and the more gentle scenic attractions of the rolling border country as well as the fascinating wildlife of both. Of course Scotland has much more to offer. Routes from Gretna to Glasgow and Braemar to Aberdeen take the reader on historic explorations of Burns country and Royal Deeside. The nation's leading cities — Glasgow and Edinburgh — offer a wealth of revered architecture and cultural life and there are also the intriguing physical remains of lost cultures scattered across the country. About the Author: Adrian Gardiner does not shirk from showing the blots on the landscape which are part of Scotland today. They are, however, relatively few in number and perhaps serve only to remind travellers that Scotland is one of the few remaining parts of Europe where motoring is still, generally speaking, an absolute pleasure.
