Alba pulses through the veins here， with a masterly masterclass of every nook & cranny that you never knew about in Northern Northern England。 Bourdain meets Bear Grylls。 Who are the shadowy authors？And who are their friends？

An excellent guidebook and source of trip-inspiration。 Great for lusting over all of the places I hope to go once lockdown eases up。。。 The only thing that I wish it included was information on the Borders/Southern Uplands。 I know this area isn't quite as wild as the north， but there are still a lot of tucked-away gems that I feel the book could have captured and shared。 An excellent guidebook and source of trip-inspiration。 Great for lusting over all of the places I hope to go once lockdown eases up。。。 The only thing that I wish it included was information on the Borders/Southern Uplands。 I know this area isn't quite as wild as the north， but there are still a lot of tucked-away gems that I feel the book could have captured and shared。 。。。more

I bought this book some time ago， but I've only just got around to reading it - it was torture to contemplate it during the height of the lockdown， as we couldn't go anywhere。 Now travel restrictions have been lifted， and tourist businesses are about to re-open， I was keen to get some ideas on places to go。 I'm itching to get out into the wilds again。Although the photography in this book is absolutely stunning， I found the text rather lacking in substance， and therefore a little disappointing。 E I bought this book some time ago， but I've only just got around to reading it - it was torture to contemplate it during the height of the lockdown， as we couldn't go anywhere。 Now travel restrictions have been lifted， and tourist businesses are about to re-open， I was keen to get some ideas on places to go。 I'm itching to get out into the wilds again。Although the photography in this book is absolutely stunning， I found the text rather lacking in substance， and therefore a little disappointing。 Each region of Scotland has an introduction， but there's not a huge amount of information in it， and the bulk of the book is just a bunch of listings that aren't very user-friendly。 It's hard to work out if this is meant to be a guide book， travel literature or a piece of promotional material for a bunch of tourist businesses。 It tries to be all three， and doesn't work brilliantly for any of them。Although it's hardly the writers' fault， I also suspect a lot of the information in this book will be useless after the lockdown， as the Scottish government's spectacularly heavy-handed and over-the-top restrictions will have trashed most of the country's tourist infrastructure， so many of the businesses mentioned will never re-open。A bit disappointing， really。 Two and a half stars。 Looks great， but lacking where it matters。 。。。more

Oops I failed to notice that it only covers Scotland’s Highlands and Islands which doesn’t cover the area I was buying it for。 That said， for the areas it covers it looks great - lots of different places to visit， photos to support and a map for each of the 26 regions showing the proximity of all their suggestions
