Aprašymas

In 1796, Sarah Maurray, a 52-year-old widow from Kensington, set off on a journey to Scotland at a time when few visitors

ventured there. The marvellously entertaining account of her trip - A Companion, and Useful Guide to the Beauties of

Scotland - reveal her to be a witty, wise and outspoken observer. It was instrumental in creating the romantic image of

the Highlands of Scotland as a place of wild, untamed beauty, thus paving the way for floods of tourists in search of the

'sublime'.

In this book Paul Murton follows in the footsteps of this extraordinary woman to evoke her Scottish adventures, putting her

observations into context and counterpointing them with his own experiences of the places she visited.
