Powerful Places in Scotland
by Elyn Aviva &
Gary White.
Powerful Places in Scotland is not your usual guidebook. It’s not about visiting places, it’s about experiencing them. Come and explore a carefully chosen selection of places in this land of mountains, islands, and water. These remarkable sites include ancient stone circles, a mysterious holy island, a fairy glen—to name a few. The book gives detailed descriptions of these powerful places, how to get there, and what to do when you arrive. Numerous maps, graphics, and photos bring the locations to life.
If you are intrigued by the unusual; if you long to connect more deeply with the places you visit; if you have a nagging feeling that there’s more to some places than meets the eye—this is the travel guide for you.
