Travel

Scotland is a very bonnie country. There are any number of picture books, glossy calendars and guide books which tell us so. But, Scotland is much more than the tartandraped idyll that the tourist offices would have us believe, and it is the main aim of this book to describe the country as it is, in all its splendid variety. Every part of the country is visited, from the green wooded valleys of the Border country to the wild country of mountain and peat bog in villages along the Solway Firth to the quiet hamlets of Orkney and Shetland.
