Sinopsis

Travels In The Western Hebrides: From 1782 To 1790 is a travelogue written by John Lane Buchanan and published in 1793. The book is a detailed account of Buchanan?s travels through the Western Hebrides, a group of islands off the west coast of Scotland, during the late 18th century. Buchanan?s journey took him through the islands of Islay, Jura, Colonsay, Mull, and others, and he provides a vivid description of the landscape, people, and culture of the region. He describes the rugged beauty of the coastline, the isolation of the island communities, and the challenges of navigating the treacherous waters of the Hebrides. Throughout the book, Buchanan provides insights into the social and economic conditions of the Hebrides during this period, including the impact of the Highland Clearances, the decline of the traditional industries of fishing and farming, and the growing influence of the English language and culture. Travels In The Western Hebrides is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on the Hebrides at a time of great change and transition. It is also a compelling travelogue that captures the beauty and mystery of this remote and fascinating region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
