AUTHOR THANKSNeil WilsonMany thanks to all the helpful and enthusias-tic staff at TICs throughout the country, and to the many travellers I met on the road who chipped in with advice and recommenda-tions. Thanks also to Carol Downie, and to Andrew Henderson, Steven Fallon, Russell Leaper, Adrian Shine, Erlend Tait and Pamela

Tait. Finally, thanks to coauthor Andy and to the ever-helpful and patient editors and car-tographers at Lonely Planet.

Andy SymingtonMany thanks are due across the country, but particularly to ever-reliable and true friend Jenny Neil, and to Juliette and David Paton for guaranteed warm and over-generous hospitality. Gratitude goes also to my mother for visiting me in the remote Highlands, to Jose Eliseo Vázquez González for naviga-tional assistance, to Harry Wycherley for the audiovisual side, to Eleanor Hamilton, Cindy-Lou Ramsay, John Bain and Riika Åkerlind. Applause to helpful tourist-office staff and cabbies, big thanks to Neil for coordinating, and cheers to Cliff and the LP team for a top organising job. And to Elena, at my side even when I’m far away: gracias profundas amor.
