Reviews

Within these pages, youll find bucolic Highland panoramas dotted with sheep and portraits of castlessome of which, [author, Gracie] concedes, are so much the better for existing in a state of romantic ruin. But theres a sense of balance at work: Edinburgh may be showcased on one page as a city paved with antiquated cobblestones while on the next its revealed as a contemporary capitalanimated by its vibrant citizens. ~Metrosource
