Picturing Scotland: The Lothians
Content: Following the introduction, there follows a photographic journey around The Lothians that reveals a surprisingly wide array of places of interest. There are few parts of Scotland where one finds such a varied collection of fascinating destinations, from sites of Neolithic ritual activity to the chance to board a supersonic airliner! Castles such as Blackness, Crichton and Dirleton line up with stately homes like Lennoxlove and Hopetoun. The landscapes of the Pentland and Lammermuir Hills form a backdrop to the region, while the coastal strip also contains much to see. Illustrated with over 80 colour photographs, most of which have been taken especially for this book.
Market: This is an ideal book for those who love The Lothians and will open the eyes of those yet to discover this area. Very good value at just under £5, it also makes an ideal gift for friends and relatives and those who have family connections with Scotland. It is hoped that this book will be an encouragement for those who have never travelled to the area to make their own visit and discover some of the less well-known places it illustrates. It is especially hoped that this book will play a small part in providing a lasting memory for all those who return to their homeland as so many did during the Year of Homecoming (Homecoming Scotland 2009).
