About this book
Samuel Johnson set out from Edinburgh with James Boswell in the autumn of 1773 for the Hebrides, and this is his account of the trip, first printed in 1775. They left on 18 August and travelled north along the Scottish east coast, landing at Inch Keith in the Firth of Forth on the way. Johnson notes the roads, the small carts drawn by single horses, and the plain market towns. This text is transcribed from the 1775 edition with the corrections listed in the 1785 errata.
