Frommer’s books aren’t written by committee, by A.I., or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We use seasoned, locally-based journalists like Deborah Collcutt, Katie Featherstone, Samantha Priestley, Simon Willmore, and Donald Strachan, plus part-time residents like Jason Cochran and Stephen Brewer because they are all real experts. The seven of them spent months checking out all of England’s and Scotland’s best hotels, attractions, shops, wineries, and restaurants in person, so they could offer authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the venues that suit your tastes and budget. In short, use this book and you’ll be eating in the places most tourists don’t know about, visiting top attractions at times when the crowds are at their thinnest, and patronizing the bars and clubs Brits and Scots hold dear.
