Scotland: Never mind castles, check out crime scenes
Celebrated crime author Ian Rankin - the creator of cynical detective
John Rebus - is writing a travel book which promises to expose the
darker side of life in Scotland.
Rankin's "anti-coffee table book" promises to take readers where most
guides fear to tread, featuring the nation's mortuaries, pizza
takeaways and saunas. Far from damaging visitor numbers, he hopes that
- like Irvine Welsh's drugs-ravaged Trainspotting vision - the book
could help bring visitors to Scotland.
