A History and Guide to Scottish Castles by Jenna Maxwell

 

Did you know that there was once a Sri Lankan elephant at Edinburgh Castle? Not many people do! This book is full of unusual stories like this, including tales about ghosts and feuds. It is more suitable to browse in than to read straight through, though.

Written in a friendly, relaxed style and well-researched, it provides a comprehensive guide to Scottish castles for history-lovers, and tourists. The black and white pictures are suitably gothic!

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
