Eye-opening video lays bare the brutal lengths nomadic reindeer herders go to fix their teeth with NO dental clinic for more than 300 miles - from DIY metal crowns to extractions with PLIERS

Wild Guide Scotland by Kimberley Grant, David Cooper

Overall, Scotland is one of those books that you'll find yourself dipping into again and again both for concrete planning and for general inspiration. It's not just for novices either, there's so much to do in Scotland, that it's a brilliant way of researching the potential of areas you might know of, but don't know well, or just areas you've never heard of, full stop.

What it does do brilliantly, is give you an idea of what's in the area, what your route options are and their highlights and attractions plus how long they're likely to take. It's a great way of short-cutting the learning process and, from a distance, of deciding whether you want to visit a particular area. If you’re new to campervans (or thinking about hiring one), let me tell you, Martin’s advice is incredibly helpful. Though travellers using other modes of transport shouldn’t put you off by the VW on the cover – because this book is all about the coolest places to stay, what to see, what to do, andultimately enjoying the journey. The design is fairly traditional, but is enlivened by some excellent photography. Rather than relying on sunny days, many of the shots convey the changing atmosphere of the hills in different weather conditions. The maps are clear and the text is bang up to date. Carefully chosen destinations, unique places, and beautiful imagery from travelling photographers India Hobson and Magnus Edmondson, aka Haarkon Adventures. This book is very much focussed on the road less travelled, the spirit of exploration, and the beauty of wild places. Follow the river upstream to find pebble beaches or little bays dotted around the city centre. To the west, Loch Tay is another lovely swimming spot. Don’t forget to visit the Aberfeldy Distillery for a tour and taste unique Tayside whiskies, lovingly made from the pure fresh waters you just swam in.
