Top 10 Scotland [antikvár]

Top 10 Scotland 5Welcome toScotlandShimmering lochs, silent glens, romantic castles, remote islands, riotous festivals, drams of whisky and rounds of golf. The birthplace of "Rabbie" Burns and Harry Potter is a proud nation, and no wonder: Scotland has fuelled the passions of artists, writers and adventurers for centuries. With Eyewitness Top 10 Scotland, it's your turn to be inspired.It may be small, but few countries can match Scotland's mix of scenic splendour and cultural heritage. What could be more romantic than crossing the sea to the Isle of Skye, more moving than seeing the site of the Glencoe massacre or more exciting than joining the crow/ds thronging the streets during the world-famous Edinburgh International Festival? And what could be more thrilling than watching ospreys in the Cairngorms National Park, monster-spotting for "Nessie" on Loch Ness, or exploring fairy-tale Glamis Castle - supposedly one of the most haunted places In Britain?Scotland has long attracted thrill-seekers, who come to "bag" a Munro or to hike the West Highland Way. Yet we love its gentler activities too, such as dolphin-spotting on the Moray Firth or strolling amongst the exotic plants of Inverewe Gardens. Its cultural attractions are equally varied: Impressionist paintings as well as Dolly the Sheep in Glasgow; Edinburgh's museums and galleries; Victorian industry in New Lanark's historic streets and Viking graffiti at Maeshowe on Orkney.Whether you're coming just for a weekend or for a whole week, this Top 10 guide is designed to bring together the best of everything Scotland has to offer, from mysterious Rosslyn Chapel to mighty Edinburgh Castle. It provides useful tips throughout, from seeking out what's free to avoiding the madding crowds, plus 11 easy-to-follow Itineraries that link a clutch of superlative sights. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps to the mix, and you have the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book, and enjoy Scotland.te i:JÜ1. !!.; 1.1,11
