Overview

When you think of Scotland do you picture rugged castles amid mountains, lochs and glens, or Edinburgh’s elegant streets? Perhaps tartan kilts, the Loch Ness Monster, or golf, which originated in Scotland in the Middle Ages, spring to mind. Scotland’s landscape and culture make it stand out as one of the most enchanting places on earth.
There is much to discover in this breathtakingly beautiful country. Scotland’s wilderness and charming cities, high mountains disappearing into the mist and tiny islands, and grandiose mansions and, even, palm trees, make it a country of immense variety.
Scotland is a fascinating exploration of the most magnificent country of the British Isles. From the Georgian houses of Edinburgh’s New Town to the Victorian grandeur of Glasgow, from the Highlands to the many lochs, from the remote islands in the Hebrides to the majesty of Glenfinnan Viaduct, this book is packed with more than 200 spectacular photographs.
Presented in a handy pocket-sized landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind each entry, Scotland is a stunning collection of images celebrating this beautiful country.
