I wouldn't recommend this as the only guide for a one-time visitor new to Scotland in need of a guide, nor as a guide for a one-off trip of couple of a weeks or less. But if you come repeatedly, or if you live in Scotland and travel about a bit, or if you want to do some serious touring, get ''Scotland the Best''. It offers a unique angle, a local's perspective and reliable recommendations.
Both [[Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson]] and [[The Kingdom by the Sea: A Journey Around the Coast of Great Britain by Paul Theroux]] show much more personal view of various British destinations, including Scotland, while [[Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street Series in Chronological Order]] or [[Isabel Dalhousie: The Charming Quirks of Others by Alexander McCall Smith]] picture Edinburgh and its environs in glowing detail and with love. We can also recommend [[In Search of Sundance, Nessie...and Paradise by Simon Bennett]].
