The books listed on this page are ones that I have used in planning my trips. I found them invaluable, and hope you will get as much from them as I did.   

Rough Guides
I would suggest getting a Rough Guide for any trip you're planning. They provide fantastic information, including prices and hours for all of the different sites you might like to see. And they list nearby lodging and restaurants. They will save you a ton of time searching for directions, as well. There are Rough Guides for practically anyplace you'd like to visit.

The Rough Guide to Scotland

 

 

Bed & Breakfasts
This B&B guide is a wonderful help. There are some great B&B's not in the book as well, but if you can't find what you need in the book, many of the proprietors are happy to give you information about their neighbors.

Eyewitness Travel Guides
The Eyewitness Travel Guides are particularly good, as they recommend walking tours to help you see as much as possible. In addition, they give time estimates for the tours, which is a great help. I have already purchased some for the next trip I'm planning.
