.Scottish Property Law
Search: Scotland
by: Tom Guthrie

March 18, 2005
Basically and updated version of the last edition but an all round improvement on the content of the book. Brillian read, especially if you cant get to sleep at night! The author has done a good job of modernising this edition from the previous and it is even funny in places. A must have for all property law buffs!

.The Infiltrators: The First Inside Account of Life Deep Undercover with Scotland Yard's Most Secret Unit
Search: Scotland
by: Philip Etienne, Martin Maynard, Tony Thompson

May 31, 2001
The first page in this book caught my attention immediately. It's written in a manner that takes you straight into the officers heads, and it's hard not to feel the stress, panic and excitement that they feel no matter what side of the thought track you lie on. If you're looking for an over-the-top cops and robbers shoot-em-up don't get this book. However if you want an insight into the realities of how undercover work happens then you have to get this. I loved the fact that some of the roads and locations in London are ones that I know or have heard of, and this is what makes it real.

.Introductory Scots Law: Theory and Practice
Search: Scotland
by: Sean Crossan, Alistair Wylie

October 29, 2004
I had been looking for an introductory Scots law book for a while without success and was getting pretty fed up when I found this book, which is excellent. It's written in a very reader-friendly way and contains loads of information of interest to the law beginner. It's not cheap, but it's not that expensive and I would definitely say it's worth the money and then some.

.Celtic the Encyclopaedia
Search: Scotland
by: Tom Campbell, George Sheridan

August 01, 2008
This is an excellent piece of work from two fine Celtic historians. The mood is light-hearted and the book is very readable, but this does not preclude accuracy and thoroughness. The front photograph is one of the most famous of Celtic goals, and the photographs inside the book are all good. This is a thoroughly good read, and more or less a compulsory Xmas present for all the many lovers of the Celtic club.

.The Steel Bonnets: Story of the Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers
Search: Scotland
by: George MacDonald Fraser

March 09, 1989
If you have read any of George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman books, you'll know that he can spin a brilliant yarn. That magic touch is more than apparent here. The Steel Bonnets reads like a fast-paced adventure novel, revealing the border lands between England and Scotland in the sixteenth century as a British Wild West, but the facts and analysis come thick and fast and never cease to fascinate. Just brilliant.

since our trip to scotland, i have bought book after book of photographs of scotland, trying to find one that captures what we saw. this one does. when we first drove into the highlands, the beauty brought me to tears. you turn round and round and take pictures that can't possibly capture what you are seeing. well, colin prior has captured scotland in this book, and i am so grateful to him!

.Ben Nevis (OS Explorer Map Series) (OS Explorer Map)
Search: Scotland

This map is a 1:25,000 scale - perfect for walking, hiking and short cycling trips.

The Landranger maps may look better, but are 1:50,000. 1:50,000 is pathetic for hikers unless very experienced in their use - imagine ur road atlas being half the size and trying to read the road names.

This is the map to go for. Being OS, it's fantastic, and even has the ski centre and all its ski lifts marked out!
