Johnson & Boswell
A Tour to the Hebrides
Oxford University Press, 1951
The English writer Samuel Johnston, accompanied by his friend and biographer James Boswell, toured Scotland in 1773. Each of them wrote a book about the tour, and this volume beings together both. They went from Edinburgh as far as the inner hebrides and their accounts paint a fascinating picture of the places they saw and the people they met. Includes many unusual anecdotes including about the Ó Catháin harp tuning key

Secondhand 1951 reprint, handsome blue hardback with original dust jacket. Some neat pencil annotations and signature of Elizabeth A R Grant, Edinburgh 1956. £13.
