Recommends is a great supplement - even more fun than a bed bath in a private hospital.

The 'Scotsman Recommends' weekly supplement is a popular and humorous look at the best people and places in Scotland as recommended by readers and journalists. Everyone has their favourite bits of Scotland, from the weird to the wonderful, the 'Never Mind the Barracks' (The Best Hanoverian Barracks) to the 'Best Secluded Beaches'. Scotland Recommends takes the best and most amusing of these eclectic lists and recommendations and compiles them in a book that will delight Scots and visitors alike.
Have you ever stood in a strange street and wondered where to eat?
Ever queued for hours to get into a visitor attraction that turned out to be mince?
Have you ever wished you could speak to someone who really knew what to see?
Scotland Recommends is the savvy local you've been looking for. For over a year, readers have been writing in to the Recommends section of The Scotsman, telling the paper that they know a great little Mexican down Victoria Street or a spine-tingling cave in Ardnamurchan.
These are the best (and most useful) of the home-grown endorsements, brought together into something better than a guidebook - it's more like a little friend to carry around in your pocket.
With a great line-up covering the basics (dog-friendly hotels, romantic restaurants, cheap places to eat), as well as the weirder holiday pasttimes (wishing wells and trees, where to find conkers, the best public toilets) and the things that are just plain fun (traditional music venues, chocolatiers, places to build sandcastles), this book is designed to be useful for the native Scot as well as the holidaymaker.
Whether you're in Scotland for a day, a weekend, a week, or have been here all your life, this is the book for you. Scotland Recommends is the ultimate guide to having a brilliant time in Scotland.
