Frommer's Scotland

Front Cover
1 Review
John Wiley & Sons, Nov 20, 2009 - Travel - 480 pages
Frommer’s Scotland features gorgeous color photos of the quaint villages, misty moors, and offshore islands that await you. It’s a highly personal guide that’s fun to read and even more fun to use on the road—and it’s much more complete and in-depth than its major competitors.

You’ll find complete details on lovely small towns, world-class golf courses, superb fishing, country pubs, whiskey distilleries, natural wonders, castles, literary landmarks, mysterious ancient ruins, and Edinburgh’s vibrant cultural scene.

About the author (2009)

An experienced team of veteran travel writers, Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince have produced numerous titles for Frommer's, including best-selling guides to Italy, France, the Caribbean, England, Germany, and Portugal. Porter is also a noted Hollywood biographer, author of such recent releases as "Brando Unzipped" and "Jacko: His Rise and Fall" which documents the saga of Michael Jackson in a way that London's "Guardian" and "Observer" defined as "dangerously addictive." Four of Porter's recent biographies have been serialized in major newspapers of the U.K., including "The Sunday Times" and "The Mail on Sunday," and collectively, they've earned at least six awards from literary foundations in the U.S. Porter is also a widely respected film critic, entertainment columnist, and radio commentator, with broadcasts heard in all 50 states. Prince, formerly of "The New York Times'" Paris bureau, is president of Blood Moon Productions (www.BloodMoonProductions.com) and other media-related firms.
