Journal of a tour of Ireland and Scotland.
Scope and Contents
According to the tour's anonymous (probably Irish) author, the tour party consisted of: ‘a man and his wife who deserted their children; a man in love; a married woman who absconded from the husband, and a young lady in search of one’. In Scotland they spend time in the Lowlands including Glasgow, Edinburgh, the Trossachs, Stirling, Dalkeith and Roslin. The tourists are interested both in Scotland’s scenery and its industry, particularly its textile manufacture.
