This scenically varied and heritage-rich area extends from the Cairngorms down to the whisky-producing glens and the fertile coastal plain, with its historic royal burghs, planned villages and brightly-painted fisher touns. First published in 1992, this book has now been revised by the author and brought up to date in the light of recent local government reorganisation and other changes.
