I am going on a trip to Scotland in May of 2027 I am going to Glasgow, the Oban Region, Isle of Skye Region, Inverness, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and The St. Andrews area. Shoud i ordrer the best of Scotland with color pics and a map, ( I am not familiar with Scotland at all) or the black and white version of Best of Scotland. thank so much for the input.
You should get the black and white one as it will have more info. and be more up to date.
If you view the guidebooks on the site here, and scroll down to “is this the right book for me” you will see this:
Rick Steves Scotland, the complete guide, offers more coverage of more
destinations in a mostly black-and-white format. The shorter Rick
Steves Best of Scotland guidebook focuses on Scotland's top
destinations and sights, is in full color, and is updated a little
less frequently than the complete guide.
