Publisher's Synopsis

There are countless guidebooks celebrating all that Scotland has to offer; the rolling hills, the hearty food, and the rich culture. This witty satire serves as the anti-guidebook, drawing on the best of the worst reviews from those who visited the country between the 17th and 19th centuries. Take a town-by-town tour through Scotland, enjoying the very worst that it has to offer.

About the Publisher

Luath Press

Luath Press takes its name from Robert Burns, whose little collie Luath (Gael., swift or nimble) tripped up Jean Armour at a wedding and gave him the chance to speak to the woman who was to be his wife and the abiding love of his life. Burns called one of The Twa Dogs Luath after Cuchullin's hunting dog in Ossian's Fingal . Luath Press was established in 1981 in the heart of Burns country, and is now based a few steps up the road from Burns' first lodgings on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Luath offers you distinctive writing with a hint of unexpected pleasures.
