Theres a new book thatll be of interest to anyone heading north of the border. It does seem to be a very comprehensive, well written and informative. Theres loads of background information, not just route directions. JG even suggests appropriate reading material and soundtracks to accompany each ride.
JG contacted me through the ADVrider forum asking to use some of my photos which is how I come to have one of the first copies, but its now available direct from www.tarmap.co.uk or eBay and will soon be on Amazon too.
Ive been biking in Scotland for nearly 35 years, not constantly of course!, but there still are lots of routes in the book that I havent ridden and lots of new information about routes Im very familiar with.
Highly recommended

Wonder if it says anything about the wallet-crippling drinks prices

My copy dropped on the doormat this morning. At first glance, a nice touring guide with some decent routes. Looking forward to a trip up there again now.

Cheers Lads
Still interested in the Book
Kindle version would have been Ideal, But I still read paper newspapers
and use paper maps etc so a proper book shouldn't cause too much problems
