[Tasha · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is not a good deal for the money. It's really tiny and short, and only contains the most general information. You can get better-quality and more specific info on Edinburgh from Lonely Planet's Scotland guide. I'm really annoyed that I bought this.

This is the one travel guide that gave me the directions for hill-walking to Arthur's Seat from Hollyrood Park, and there is a good map included.

Fits perfectly in my handbag so great that way. Good layout and writing is good.
