4.0 out of 5 stars You need a book on holiday on Skye...in case it rains., 14 Oct 2005

(REAL NAME)   
It was a strange experience to actually sit and read a book in the very house in which it had been written back in the 1860's. I had some inclination that I was close to one of the main settings for the book from Alexander Smiths superb detail on physical landscape but it was not until a brief conversation with an islander in a gift shop that the true fact emerged. An impulse bid on-line for this hefty work left me with a copy withdrawn from a municipal library stock with hard cover and an ominous message on the inside cover not to return the book to the lending library if there was a contagious illness in the household. Perhaps a standard sticky insert for the 1950's library service. The text starts in Edinburgh with highly descriptive scenes of a bustling city and some not very complimentary remarks about the rougher residents of what are now the prime tour
