About this copy
First published in 1929, H. V. Morton's In Search of Scotland remains one of the most loved travel books about the country. Morton has a rare gift for uncovering a nation's past and relating it to the present, and no one conveys the essence of a place better. From the Border hills to the elegance of Edinburgh and the grit of Glasgow, through coasts, mountains, moors and islands, his eye for the telling detail never fails.
He conjures the ghosts of Walter Scott, Stevenson, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Mary, Queen of Scots. This is the 1984 Methuen paperback edition, a handsome and readable copy of a book that has stayed in print for more than half a century.
