Scotland : an encyclopedia of places & landscapes
"It is remarkable that in this age of information there is no up-to-date reference guide to the topography of Scotland. Scotland: An Encyclopedia of Places & Landscapes is the first authoritative and comprehensive guide since Francis Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer, published in 1882-5." "Arranged in an alphabetical format, over 8,000 entries cover in detail the nation's cities, towns and villages, mountains, lochs and rivers, visitor attractions, monuments and historic sites. Each entry places its subject in an appropriate historical, geographical, architectural or environmental context, providing information for a wide range of users, including families, students, tourists, journalists and government officials." "Street plans are included for all the Scottish cities and 100 Scottish towns, highlighting places of interest, public buildings and main traffic routes." "There is a fully indexed colour atlas of Scotland at the back of the book."--Jacket
