Fife
and Perthshire: Including Kinross (Pevensey Guide S.)
This guide covers a varied landscape area that is accessible
to the highly populated Central Lowlands of Scotland, including
the great cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Human endeavour, coupled with a proud colourful heritage, is
evident everywhere, in the pretty and historic coastal towns
such as St Andrews, in the rolling Lomond Hills and scenic Loch
Leven, and, moving further north towards the higher ground,
in the mountainous areas around Pitlochry, where the autumn
colours have to be seen to be believed. Visits to the area are
addictive, causing many to return again and again to the ancient
"kingdoms" of Fife and Perth, legendary birthplace
of the heartland of Scotland, for further exploration and pleasure.
