Contagious has been appointed by Historic Scotland to develop their range of retail publications.

The agency will work on series of official souvenir guide books which will help promote and communicate 'a sense of place' and enhance the visitor's experience at Historic Scotland properties across the country, starting with Glasgow Cathedral (pictured) in January 2009.

Design director Jason Dobson said: "We are delighted to to be given the opportunity to work in partnership with Historic Scotland and look forward to helping them develop and enhance their current guide books over the coming years". The contract was won through a competitive tendering process and will run for two years.
