About the Author

Guides, Rough: - Rough Guides are written by expert authors who are passionate about both writing and travel.

It's priceless information, delivered with wit and insight, providing the down-to-earth, honest read that is the hallmark of Rough Guides.
Longley, Norm: - "Originally from Somerset, Norm has spent much of his working life in Eastern Europe - he is the author of the Rough Guides to Slovenia, Romania and Budapest - but in recent years he has turned his hand to home shores as author of the Scotland, Wales and Ireland guides. These days he divides his time between Orkney and Somerset."
Morton, Owen: - Owen Morton is based in North Yorkshire, and has written or contributed to numerous Rough Guides, ranging from Pembrokeshire to the Philippines. When not exploring the world, he entertains himself by writing a blog about 1980s cartoons. His favourite animal is the wonderfully expressive and permanently furious manul, native to Central Asia and sadly not Shetland. Follow him on Instagram at @owenmortonmanul.
