    Good book, 2008-03-12 Good book and very informative for planning a trip to Scotland (especially for someone who's never been).
    Can't wait to go!, 2007-09-06 I am planning a family trip to visit my parents homeland. Scotland for Dummies has helped me to learn a great deal in a short time. I love the Stickers to highlight the places you want to go. The cheat sheets should prove valuable too.
