Dunnett Related Places to Visit
in Scotland and Northern England
I have frequently been asked for recommendations for places to visit by Dunnett
enthusiasts who are coming to Edinburgh on holiday, and these pages are intended
to provide some ideas in this vein. As they've grown rather large I've now split
them into more manageable parts.
Scotland is of course teeming with history and as well as places mentioned in
the books there are many sights which you will no doubt want to see, which while
not directly related to the books, are useful for general background to give
you a feel for the period. While we can't possibly cover everything on one page
(the history of central Edinburgh alone could fill many books, while the history
of the Borders region is extremely complex) it should serve as a good basis
for further research and for planning excursions.
The suggestions are split into 7 groups centred on Edinburgh
Edinburgh and nearby
West North
South East The
Borders Orkney
