A Must September 21, 2006

Simply put, if you're an American (on anyone else who can read English) and you want to travel abroad to play golf in Scotland, this book is "a must," the first one you should buy, and maybe the only one you really need. That is, unless you don't care about what the trip will cost and you have no difficulty letting other people make decisions for you. Mr. Ferguson gives you the ins and outs of making your own arrangements, the pros and cons of various approaches, and the highlights of a number of top-notch Scottish golf courses. He gives you the tools to do it on your own, without the tour company or travel agent . . . to create your own golfing adventure. Which is not to say that Mr. Ferguson will not work with you as non-comissioned, fee-based agent (as he's done with me), but it's also very clear he'd be just as happy, maybe more so, to have you buy the book and plan the adventure on your own (as I do now). By the way, the second book you ought to buy is James Finegan's "Where Golf is Great" (see my Amazon review), a judgment with which I feel certain Mr. Ferguson would not disagree.
A " Must Have" book if traveling to Scotland for Golf August 28, 2006
After reading Mr. Ferguson's book we solicited his help in planning our first trip to Scotland. It turned out to be the best vacation we've had. Two subsequent trips were just as enjoyable using his book as our primary guide.
Best golf tour book on Scotland August 28, 2006

Having had the delight of living in St. Andrews and traveling over most of Scotland playing golf, Allan's book is the best I have seen, by far, for describing the reality of golf, travel, and living in Scotland. He sugarcoats nothing, his opinion mirrors mine, and he is interested is ensuring his readers know exactly what to expect and know exactly how to best user their time and travel dollars. Even with my Scottish experience and contacts, his book is my golf/travel in Scotland bible.

This is an excellant book that allows you to completely plan your entire trip to Scotland. All info is provided on courses, lodging and places to visit and eat with an emphasis on what it should be.... GOLF.....Allan 's personal contact makes planning your trip easy or should you choose as I did, let him do it for a cost that can't be beat....As he states in his book.."I am the tour operators worst nightmare"...I get excited about golf in Scotland every time I read this book.
