Time Out Edinburgh: Glasgow, Lothian, and Fife (Time Out Guides)

With its underground caverns, ancient castle, and imposing skyline, Edinburgh has long been a city steeped in the past. But, recently, Scotland's capital has shimmied right into the modern age. The fourth edition of the Time Out Edinburgh guide has been completely revised and updated. Local writers take travelers down the cobbled alleys of the Old Town, through ultra chic bars of the New Town, and right out to the tranquil beaches of Gullane. The guide looks past the Athens of the North to explore Glasgow's edgy charms, road tests the ever-popular distillery tours, and offers a one-stop, no-nonsense guide to visiting the Highlands. Special features include an expanded section on Edinburgh's festivals, walks around the city's scenic areas, and itineraries on how to do Edinburgh in an afternoon, a weekend, a week, and beyond.
