SOUTH WEST SCOTLAND (LUATH GUIDES)

Bounded by the Atlantic and the Solway, and steeped in history and legend, south-west Scotland is a land whose peace and grandeur are comparable to the Highlands’ yet is comparatively unknown. From the Auld Kirk of Alloway where tales of Tam O'Shanter resound, to the legends of St Ninian at one of Scotland's earliest Christian sites, Whithorn, and the splendour of Culzean Castle to Scotland's highest village, Wanlockhead, the guide includes ideas for all-weather activities, suggested tours, and maps and illustrations.
