Rezensionen

Within these pages, you ll find bucolic Highland panoramas dotted with sheep and portraits of castles some of which, [author, Gracie] concedes, are so much the better for existing in a state of romantic ruin. But there s a sense of balance at work: Edinburgh may be showcased on one page as a city paved with antiquated cobblestones while on the next it s revealed as a contemporary capital animated by its vibrant citizens. ~Metrosource
