Scotland E-Brochures that actually get printed

The E-brochures on this site are really nice but......was wondering if any of them actually get printed up? I would really love to have a few of them I can hold in my hand and look at. Especially the fishing guide on this site. Are there any visitor centers when we arrive at EDI, to possibly pick up any of these? I find it really hard to look at many of these online guides, especially on a phone screen. It's a lot easier to turn a page. Real maps and specific area guides that you can hold are really nice when you sometimes need to see the big picture.
We will definitely be using a paper map and Google maps on our trip around the North of Scotland. "Old school" when it comes to navigation. Besides how often "GPS only" can sometimes lead you astray on a route that is not for the normal passenger car. We've had some real horror shows with people getting real deep into a bad situation (in Colorado, Utah Arizona Wyoming) because they fully trusted the GPS and did not look at a map.
Anyway..... getting off the subject. Any visitor centers with lots of hand brochures in or near EDI? Thanks

So..... do you know if any of the e-brochures are actually printed on paper?

You certainly can get paper copies of the Fish in Scotland brochure and all of the area guides in a VisitScotland iCentre.
If you are landing at Edinburgh airport you will find one in the terminal building when you arrive. There is also a large iCentre on Princes Street (right next door to Waverley Station). There you will find all of the area guides, maps, Walk Fish and Golf in Scotland glossy brochures too. All the staff on duty are very knowledgeable and will be able to assist.
You can pick up Scotland road maps in most petrol stations too.
Whilst you are here on your travels look out for the VisitScotland Coo-Van too. The vans and their teams provide information on the moo-ve and crop up at different events and attractions throughout the summer across Scotland.
