Patrick Book

Less complete of detail than a book like "Peat Smoke and Spirit" but still an interesting read. Very poetic and flowery of prose, this focuses almost entirely on the topography, the look, and the landscapes of the many regions of Scotland. Distilleries are almost an after thought until you get to the appendix, which neatly summarizes each distillery in the nation.
