111 Dark Places in Scotland That You Shouldn't Miss

'Dark Tourism' involves travelling to sites associated with death, disaster, or the macabre. Scotland is filled with these 'dark places' that embody pain, shame, and 'difficult heritage.' 111 Dark Places in Scotland That You Shouldn't Miss provides an engaging, accessible, and authoritative guide to these significant sites within Scotland's castles, ancient cities, towns, and natural landscapes. This book delves into the darker aspects of the nation's heritage. Scotland, while part of the UK, maintains a distinct cultural identity with a history steeped in conflict, especially with its dominant neighbour, England. The country's legacy of turmoil has shaped its strong sense of national identity, often the core of dark tourism. This guidebook is the first of its kind, designed for both locals and visitors to explore Scotland's dark tourism sites. It complements 111 Dark Places in England and provides a distinctly Scottish perspective on the nation's challenging past.
