![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is brief but to the point (143pgs).However I was greatly disappointed in the fact that instead of having actual current pictures of the edifices,plaques,monuments natural topography etc.,the book contained mostly child-like drawings.What could have been the works strongest asset ended up being its biggest detraction.Imagine all of these wonderful sights that the author painstakingly visted and researched only to be viewed as a crude sketch.I realize that it is not advertised as a pictorial history, but so much of the authors description of the trail lends itself to visual appreciation.Lets face it, even though there are maps, unless the reader actually has the time and money to reenact this trail referring back to the maps as they are is quite useless.Coming from an american who has visted Scotland and dreams of returning, the chances of seeing more than just a few of the numerous landmarks in this edition ,in ones lifetime is highly unlikely. A travelers guide to locations and points of interest relating to the iconic hero Sir William Wallace.Well researched and annotated, complete with maps and helpful traveling hints.As a person who has read several volumes on the life of William Wallace, I felt that this book did add some interesting historical insight. ![]()
