Picturing Scotland: Perthshire
(2nd edition, Expanded and Revised)
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 – for a list of these see over. 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.
