The Oldest Post Office in the World: And Other Scottish Oddities

ISBN: 1905207956

Author: Brown, Hamish

Condition: New

Hamish Brown, Scotland's popular, veteran outdoor and travel author, takes us on a tour of ninety-four of the oddest locations located throughout Scotland. Each location is given a two page spread with a full color photograph, maps, and a description in Hamish's own, inimitable, style. This compilation of the `weird, surprising and unconventional' will astonish even those who thing they know the country well. From the White Wife in Shetland, to the Oldest Post Office in the World in Galloway, by way of all of Scotland's regions and the strange things to be found, the Scotland-lover is presented not only with a book of unending interest but also a list of visits to tick off as they travel the country in pursuit of the unusual. With this beautiful, larger format book Hamish Brown presents another side of himself (and Scotland) to add to the Munro and Corbett bagging adventurer of Hamish's Mountain Walk and Climbing the Corbetts. "One of the more peculiar travel guides currently available... Brown has a chatty style and charming sense of humor, which make his book an enjoyable armchair read."-Library Journal Jan. 10, 2013
