About this book

Dorothy Wordsworth records Scottish scenery through the practical details of travel: shelter, conversations, ferry crossings and the changing shape of the land. Her account of a tour made in 1803 follows a route through Glasgow, Loch Lomond and Edinburgh, with lakes, castles and waterfalls among its stopping places. The contents also include poems associated with the tour, allowing prose descriptions to sit alongside verse inspired by the same places.

Near Loch Awe, a smoky fire serves as a signal to a boatman while children play on the hillside. Wordsworth observes the mountain Cruachan, the outline of the lake and the arrangement of a hut's hearth with equal care. These small encounters give the travel journal its human scale.
