A Journey to the Highlands of Scotland

A Journey to the Highlands of Scotland, with Occasional Remarks on Dr. Johnson's Tour, published anonymously in 1777, is a lively account of its female author's tour of Scotland, told in the form of letters to her friends in England. This text, significant as an example of early women's travel writing, is also of interest for its attacks on Dr. Samuel Johnson's more famous A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland (1775) . This new scholarly edition, the first ever republication of this work, features a new introduction and notes by Barbara Britton Wenner, as well as contextual appendices.
