I just spent a week in Edinburgh and I relied on this book to plan my trip and navigate the city. It's full of useful information, as well as recommendations and clearly marked neighbourhood maps. I read it in advance and bookmarked the appropriate sections for my interests and it worked perfectly. Plus it's compact and fit easily in my purse. Remember that North American cell phones don't work there, so you won't be able to rely on your iPhone maps.

My only criticism would be that the maps often don't include smaller streets, so you may have to depend on landmarks and major intersections to be sure you're going the right way.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Has It All for Two Great City Experiences! May 17 2012
By Patricia M. Dugan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has just enough to plan a great Scottish City trip. The restaurant info was especially complete and on track. I also wreaked havoc on my credit cards with the shopping recommendations. I would have never found the bookstores without this. It is just the right size to fit in a small bag and I knew I had a great resource when my Scottish friends started taking it out of my hands to bone up on their home cities. This is just a great guide to have for Scotland.

Bought this for a trip to Scotland in August. I'll have to reserve opinion till I return, hopefully it will guide me in the right direction.
4.0 out of 5 stars Used for a trip to Glasgow & Edinburgh Mar 19 2013
By Deborah Holbrook - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We took a cruise and I bought this book to have some ideas of what we wanted to visit. I liked the various tours it had, and we picked pieces of a few including visiting Glasgow Catherdral. Very handy series to have on a trip, especially with the pull out maps.
The Edinburgh portions we got a lot of use out of and spent out whole day exploring multiple places along the Royal Mile starting at the Edinburgh Castle and ending at the park at the end.
