1) Paperback Book In Search of Ancient Scotland, A Guide for The Independent Traveler by Aspen Grove Publishing. This is an unusual travel book and it is geared for the self guided. For instance, the book gives directions to fields where ancient underground houses were made to protect the iron age people that resided there. The whole country is an archaeologist´s dream, as peat moss has things well preserved. Directions are given to remote crumbling castles and as there are no trespassing laws in Scotland, you can walk through farmer´s pastures to reach your site. The authors give great information for off the beathen things to see. It has been well researched.¤ 2) Paperback Book In Search of Ancient Scotland, A Guide for The Independent Traveler by Aspen Grove Publishing. In Search of Ancient Scotland is a valuable resource, not just because it acts as a travel guide to those out-of-the-way places, but also for the insight it gives for the road-tripper in a foreign country. They travel like I like to travel (not vacation), on my own, with my own agenda and schedule, seeing the things that interest me. It´s clear that this couple has actually been to the places that they´ve written about, experienced the weather and peat and sheep, and not just pulled information off of a website - which many of the travel books seem to have done. These are clearly people who not only love Scotland, but genuinely love the discovery of it. They also give heads-up on things one doesn´t always consider, like ferry schedules and bringing extra torches for certain places, or wellies, and I greatly appreciate their disclosing the hidden gems that they stumbled apon while searching for something else. I always consult their book before heading over to bonny Scotland.¤ 3) Paperback Book In Search of Ancient Scotland, A Guide for The Independent Traveler by Aspen Grove Publishing. Husband and I used this book extensively on our two week driving trip to Scotland. Can´t recommend it highly enough. Unfortunately, we managed to leave our copy in a B&B, but immediately came home and bought another.¤ 4) Paperback Book In Search of Ancient Scotland, A Guide for The Independent Traveler by Aspen Grove Publishing. Inasmuch as Robert the Bruce never actually lived at Castle Tioram, as the book states according to at least one reviewer, I might exercise some caution......¤ 5) Paperback Book In Search of Ancient Scotland, A Guide for The Independent Traveler by Aspen Grove Publishing. A useful book if you´re planning a trip, know where you´re going, and want to add some very old, off-the-beaten-track sites. If you´re planning a trip and trying to figure out what part of Scotland to visit, another guide such as the Michelin is probably more useful as the latter guide differentiates better between the must see sites and those of only modest interest.¤ 6) Paperback Book In Search of Ancient Scotland, A Guide for The Independent Traveler by Aspen Grove Publishing. Walk the moors with Scotland´s prehistoric people, climb its crumbling castle walls, stand on its battlefields alongside its great heroes, feel the presence of its ghosts held tight in images spun by ancient Celts. This book transports armchair travelers or active explorers of all ages back in time to a Scotland most visitors never see. In this friendly, lively book, the authors guide readers to more than 200 ancient monuments to uncover unsual features, legends and history. A descriptive timeline differentiates various eras from the Stone Age to the Renaissance. An index of sites facilitates finding them quickly. A glossary defines common historical, archaeological and Scottish terminology, and references suggest further reading. Sixteen color pages and numerous B&W photos supplement the text. Written by North Americans from their own experiences, In Search of Ancient Scotland addresses independent travelers´ questions and fears--driving on the left, roundabouts and one-lane roads, trespass and courtesy, language differences and money matters. Using a star system, they recommend their favorite places and provide clear directions. Accompany these authors on their personal quest for Scotland´s antiquity as they reveal their tips for planning and share their insights and adventures.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
