Good on sites, unreliable on practicalities, July 25 2005
By an ex-pat in Scotland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scottish Islands - Orkney & Shetland (Paperback)
I bought this in my local bookstore and tried to use it to plan a weeklong trip to Orkney. Unfortunately, while it helped me decide where to go and what to see, it failed me once I tried to make concrete plans. Many of the B&Bs had changed hands and were no longer accepting guests and those that were had often TRIPLED their prices. Save your money and visit the websites of VisitScotland and Historic Scotland which will do a better job on trip planning for free.

Good information on Orkney sites, Oct 17 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Scottish Islands - Orkney & Shetland, 3rd Ed. (Paperback)
While you'll still need to use the Internet to look up things that change frequently like current rates for hotels or bed & breakfasts, and admission rates to the sights, this book provides good information about things to see and do in Orkney. I bought it to bring on a recent trip to Orkney as a backup in case I couldn't find a place to get on the Internet once I got there, and was glad that I did.

Travel guide, Mar 10 2006
By Peter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scottish Islands - Skye & the Western Isles, 2nd (Paperback)
The information seems to be quite complete and is well presented. The book also has its lighter side. Good value for the visitor lucky enough to get to this part of Scotland.
