Frommers Scotlands Best-Loved
Driving Tours (Best Loved Driving
Tours) by David Williams
Excellent Guide To Seeing Scotland From Behind The Wheel
Scotlands a country to see by car. With its lochs and hills, small towns and
country inns, you lose a lot of autonomy by depending on public
transportation. Frommers guide presents 25 itineraries--all with precise
directions, distances and drive times, sights along the way, history, nature,
and family-oriented highlights, recommended walks, scenic side trips, and
detailed, accurate route-planning maps. Divvied up into four regions with
five to seven tours each, the routes take one to three days to drive. The
writing is informative, and the color photography is splendid, assisting with
the task of choosing among the many fine trips. If youre after stony
castles, hillside ambles, breathtaking mountain scenery, and watching a
man hand-weave tartans on a loom, the Doon the Watter tour might
appeal, while the Queen of the South tour features prehistoric chambered
tombs, the Kircudbright Wildlife Park, and a rocky memorial to Robert the

Bruce. If, on the other hand, jagged sea shores, old whaling centers,
whisky distilleries, and stones with Pictish symbols are more to your fancy,
The Fishing Trail might interest you more. Either way, Frommers guide
provides wonderful assistance in selecting then enjoying the sort of
Scottish holiday you had in mind.
Personal Review: Frommers Scotlands Best-Loved Driving
Tours (Best Loved Driving Tours) by David Williams
This review is for the 6th edition, 2005 printing.
Excellent guide to seeing Scotland with a sports car or a recreational
vehicle (RV; a home on wheels). You will enjoy some great driving tours
and routes through this historical region of United Kingdom.
Frommers has recently come out with more "Best-Loved Driving Tours"
series ... guides that are not very inexpensive, but are very well researched
and quite comprehensive. One will have plenty of driving tours and routes
to chose from, whether you like arts and museums, scenic roads and
breathtaking views, urban towns and shopping, or just want to experience
a regione's culture and life.
Unlike the other Frommer guides that are fatter and heavier, this little book
gives you not too many specifics on lodging or eating. It is geared strictly
for the person behind the wheel and her or his passengers.
I have had a great experience using this guide and will recommend it to
anyone who can afford it. Also, you might want to check to see if your
library carries it and check it out for the duration of your visit abroad.
When I backpacked 4 months through Europe I had a copy of the Lonely
Planet for Europe (a thick and heavy book) because it covered more cities
and esoteric towns, a ripped chapters of all the international youth hostals
Europe of the countries I visited, and as primary guide for nominal cities
and capitals I used Frommers (ripped the book and kept only chapters of
countries planning to visit - so I can keep the weight down).
