Scope and Contents
The log (folio 4) which is illustrated with pen and ink sketches, records a voyage on the yacht ‘The Ladye’ from Loch Hourn to Lewis and Skye in October 1859. The other sketches, which are pasted to large sheets, depict scenes during a voyage on the 'Lotus' to Skye and Rona in October 1855 (folio 19) and were probably added to the later narrative by Mrs Ellice.
