Book Description
The Highlands of Scotland--spectacular, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful--have always maintained a strong sense of individuality. This is the land of the Picts, the Gaels, and the Vikings, all of whom left behind their imprint on the land. Modern-day Highland living must deal with the same problems that have always prevailed: remoteness and an unpredictable climate. Yet those who choose to live among the mountains, lochs, and glens of northern Scotland would never wish to live elsewhere and they have created homes of distinctive appeal and considerable comfort. This book reflects the mix of tradition and style in the Highlands: tartans and tweeds, the traditional march to the Lonach Highland Games, a visit to sumptuous Inveraray Castle, casting for salmon on the river Dee, a Burns Night dinner with the "Toast to the Haggis." 204 color photographs and illustrations.

Scottish Heaven August 28, 2008
This is a book I look at over and over again. The photos are breathtaking and the text includes both the history and current information about each area. They did a good job of including photos of the house interiors and the beautiful Scottish landscape.

My son and I loved reading this book. The book is not only filled with breathtaking photography, but it covers a variety of details about everyday society and life.
