Literary Scotland: A Traveller's Guide

Scotland’s rich literary heritage is being put firmly on the map thanks to a new guide produced by VisitScotland and the University of Glasgow.

Featuring everything from the castle where Bram Stoker penned Dracula to the scenic woodlands of Dunkeld which inspired Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit stories, Literary Scotland: A Traveller’s Guide highlights 60 fascinating literary locations throughout the country, including the stunning settings for world-famous novels, the scenery that inspired poets and the birthplaces of some of the country’s most distinguished writers.

It is the first guide of its kind to be put together by VisitScotland and it is hoped it will appeal to residents and visitors alike.

Scottish author Iain Banks, writer of more than 20 novels, including The Bridge, Complicity and The Crow Road , describes the guide as: “A valuable introduction to the many fascinating links between Scotland and literature.”

The guide will be available in VisitScotland Information Centres throughout the country from February 21.  Download your free copy of the Literary Guide here!
