Synopsis
Black's Picturesque Tourist of Scotland will provide you with maps that pass for art, descriptions that pass for poetry and detail that could pass for the most meticulous historic record. It will enable you to travel through Scotland on the shoulder of an urbane 19th century traveller and encounter the triumphs, trials and tall tales that flowed throughout Scotland in the 1800s. Whilst this tome is likely to be of interest to historians, it would also have many insights to offer the present day traveller who seeks a sense of context for their exploration of Scotland. The historically minded reader will relish the opportunity to see what the viewpoint of an educated traveller might have been on the Battle of Culloden, be swallowed up by the mysteries of Scotland's beautiful lochs and, on the more domestic side, find out where a good inn and malt liquor could be found at a fair price and where one would have been better off to abandon all hope and settle for the local brew. Written from the perspective of a 19th century author hoping to enrich contemporary readers this book will tell you everything a tourist visiting Scotland could hope to know. When to jostle for a place at the window on the Caledonian railway, which stately homes marble staircase is worth the journey to visit and which road to take to the legendary poet Burns' cottage; all this and more lies within these pages and waits to enthral the reader. Rarely can a book convey such a sense of living history alongside such a prodigious amount of quantified but personal information about the period.

Eloquence, or ambitious eulogium of the scenery to which the volume is meant to be a guide, has been studiously suppressed. A plain and intelligible account is given of those localities most worthy of the attention of strangers, and of the means by which they can be reached; the measure of admiration with which they must be contemplated is not prescribed. By adopting this course, space has been found for the incorporation of a large amount of Traditionary, Historical, and Literary Illustration, by which a recollection of the scenery will be more permanently fixed in the memory of the tourist, than by any original description of its features which the author could himself have given. Neither labour nor expense has been spared to give the work the greatest possible degree of accuracy. To secure this object, the several sheets, in their progress through the press, have been transmitted to individuals conversant with the topography of the respective districts; while the descriptions of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen, have been wholly contributed by natives of these cities.
