Picturing Scotland: Perthshire
(Revised and Expanded Edition)
Content: Perthshire is a record-breaking county in several ways: here you will find the world's tallest hedge, the smallest distillery, the sole survivor from Shakespeare's 'Birnam Wood' and the oldest living thing in Europe, if not the planet! This photographic tour aims to capture its moods and illustrate the principal landmarks and places of interest. The book's coverage extends from the city of Perth to its mountainous regions to the north and west, such as Ben Lawers, Scotland's tenth highest peak. The county's history is represented by the inclusion of famous locations like Scone Palace, Blair Castle, Dunkeld Cathedral and Killiecrankie battle site. In this new edition 32 extra pages allow the book's coverage to be greatly expanded to include many new views. In addition, further new pictures of classic Perthshire scenes enhance the quality of this commended book. In total, there are 54 new pictures in this volume.
Market: This is an ideal book for those who love Perthshire and for those who do not know Scotland at all. 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).
