Product Description

Synopsis

Looking to close a travel-writing gap of over a hundred years, H. V. Morton goes IN SEARCH OF SCOTLAND, a land to which he is a complete stranger. The result is a characteristically engaging adventure in a landscape at turns 'enchanted' and 'without mercy'. Amongst many entertaining encounters, he describes a 'sincere Scottish breakfast' served beneath a portrait of Queen Victoria, sings Jacobite rebel songs late into the night at a hotel in Fort Augustus and comes across 'the most grotesque signpost in the British Isles': 'The Village of Glencoe Scene of The Famous Massacre Teas and Refreshments, Tobacco and Cigarettes' Anecdotal, leisurely, full of character and event, insight and information, this is travel writing of the very highest order.

5.0 out of 5 stars in search of Scotland, 6 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: In Search of Scotland (Hardcover)
R.V.Morton writes of his travels around Scotland with a clarity that puts you there, with him, as he describes the characters,local history, life and feeling of the moment in each place he visits.
Set in the early 1900s, it is a beautifully written book that was an absolute joy and education to read. I am so pleased to find that he has others on the shelf!
Ian.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't just take the Low Road!, 1 Jan 2010
By Mr. A. N. Jarvis "Javamann" (Thailand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Have you ever met Mr M.? Well, I'm afraid your a bit too late. Never mind, this book will take you on the High Road to Scotland.
Just hop in the passenger seat of M's motor car and take that road out of London.
What sort of car is it? Can't say but she certainly goes well.
The world of 2010, motorways and traffic wardens does not yet exist and wont for about another 80 years or so.
I don't think now that I will ever have the chance to take that journey but If you do, write a review to spread the news.
That number of editions and re-prints has got to mean something pretty good.
P.s. I bought another copy for my son's birthday.
