Scotland has always been a popular destination with American visitors, who are attracted by dramatic scenery, warm hospitality, the finest malt whiskies, and world-renowned golf courses. Many also come to trace ancestors and to investigate the history and traditions of the clans. Information on all this and more can be found in the latest edition of the Cadogan guide to Scotland. The author guides readers on a tour through Scotland region by region, taking in ghost-spotting at Glamis Castle, a stroll in the celestial gardens at Finlaystone, a chilly swim in the waters of Loch Ness, and a visit to the hill forts and stone circles of Perthshire. This edition of the guide has been fully revised and updated to include color photographs, comprehensive maps, travel information and the most up-to-the-minute listings, which will help readers choose between the splendor of Gleneagles and the warmth of a cozy bed and breakfast.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

To top it off, you can eat loch-fresh salmon and organic Aberdeen Angus steaks, sample whisky from more than one hundred distilleries, and tee off on some of the world's best golf courses.This guide includes practical travel advice; over 850 hand-picked places to stay; over 800 restaurants, bars & cafes; 25 maps; stunning color photography and touring map sections; essential information on the best loch - and sea-fishing locations.
