Sadly, the best guidebook on Scotland – the one the Scots use – is no longer available online. However, we would recommend anyone travelling in Scotland to buy Peter Irvine’s fabulous guide – “Scotland the Best”. The guide provides thousands of recommendations covering a multitude of topics including: the best beaches; the best ice-cream; the best hill walks; the best bakers; the best spooky places; the best seafood; the best places for kids; the best ceildhs; the best restaurants, the best bars and so on. In our opinion, it gets it right, every time.
