About This Item
In Search of Scotland is an enduringly popular book about traveling through Scotland. It was a massive best-seller; it was first published in 1929--this copy is dated 1931 and is its 15th printing.
Seeking to close a travel-writing gap of over a hundred years, the English journalist H. V. Morton went in search of Scotland, a land to which he was a complete stranger. The result is an engaging adventure in a landscape at turns "enchanted" and "without mercy." Anecdotal, leisurely, full of character and event, insight, and opinion, this is travel writing of the very highest order.
