1 comments about Stirling Castle (Historic Scotland (Series).).
- For someone really wanting to know about Stirling Castle you will love this. It's a thin book, so on first inspection you might deep it a little pricey for a book with so few pages. Remember this is not a volume sales book, but a collectors style edition and they didn't spare cost in producing it. Dozens of pictures, high quality colour, from every view of the castle, ramparts and the grounds, it gives you a guided tour starting with the Outer Defences and works inward, moving through the Outer Close, Inner Close to the Great Hall, kitchens and then the palace proper.
You are treated to the nether Bailey, Magazines, the royal parks and gardens. This the book moves to Stirling's role in history, from it's beginnings through the War of Independence with Edward Longshanks to it being the palace of James IV, V and VI. You will continue to it's role during the Jacobite Rebellion and finally with the castle in more modern times.
It's really worth it. A great resource for writers as well as for someone planning a jaunt to this side of the Pond.

- This book is absolutey
incredible. Caitlin, a young girl living on the remote island of Hirta, is captivated by the Druids that live on the island and their secret rituals. Given the gift of timetravel, she goes forward in time and sees that she is destined to rally her fellow villagers to break through the Druid's pall of fear that hangs over the village. Caitlin travels through the past, and the future, living the lives of many people. A fantastic book with a riveting story line rife with fantastic plot twists and exciting events. A must read for anyone who enjoys top quality fantasy.

1 comments about The Scottish Bed & Breakfast Book: Country and Tourist Homes, Farms, Guesthouse, Inns (Scottish Bed & Breakfast Book).
- The author gives wonderful descriptions of the B&Bs and makes you feel like you know several of the owners before you even get there. The book is divided by area, which is going to be great for us when we go on our trip to Scotland...we leave today! We don't have a set itinerary and will be using this book to help us find good lodging wherever we end up.
