There are historical surprises and supernatural mysteries, quirky sights and more than a few unexpected facts along the way.

The book is the second collaboration between brother and sister publishing team Tom and Julie Christie, whose previous book together - 2020's "The Heart 200 Book" - was the first published guide to the iconic Scottish touring route. Working in collaboration with the Heart 200 team, and many companies and organisations throughout the area, their new book promises something of interest for everyone who is coming to see the region and its many attractions for themselves.
