I'll have to look that up so I'll have it when I get to Scotland. I am a frequent visitor to the Luath Press website, so I will look for it the next time I go there. I'd have to say that after reading David R. Ross' books, I haven't found much use in looking in guidebooks, because he really tells you everything you need to know. He's really a historian, but I'd class him as a travel writer as well because all his books have maps and great insight to any visitors.Hazel Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234157921832851920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473528606413302079.post-47900069725181828602010-05-08T20:07:52.296+01:002010-05-08T20:07:52.296+01:00So very sorry to hear that you have a cold!

I would say it is a big marker on the path that lead me to Scotland and dates back to the year 2002 when I discovered the book at the library. I still have the book and never did return (I did pay for it though!). I had the grand idea that I would visit all the islands. So far 25 islands, a few hundred to go!<br />Sue Lawrence's book is great too. |The recipe for haggis lasagne was absolutly fantastic! Yum!<br />Happy reading and adventures!
