In Search of Scotland

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.
