2006-03-21 Unreliable

Being a fan of the Lonely Planet series, i thought this would be ideal for a weekend away in Edinburgh. However, i was sorely disappointed with the information provided in this guidebook. It is only a couple of years old, yet much of the information is out of date, meaning we often went in search of resturants that were not longer there. The reviews also tended to be misleading; many of the pubs which got excellent write-ups were very ordinary and some others weren't given the credit they deserved. All in all this guide, as with all Lonely Planet guides, crams a lot of information into a compact book, however this was not always reliable and will make me think twice when i buy my next travel guide.
