Location: Yonge and College /downtown Toronto Cash only. Prices are firm -- I do not do additional discounting. "Step into the golden age of Scottish travel with this classic Victorian guidebook, published by the Edinburgh firm of Adam and Charles Black. Written for the growing army of tourists drawn north by the romance of Sir Walter Scott and the grandeur of the Highlands, it guides the reader from the closes and castles of Edinburgh to the lochs of the Trossachs, the glens of the Highlands, and the farthest western islands. Packed with route descriptions, practical advice on coaches, steamers, and inns, and notes on the history and legends of each place along the way, the Picturesque Tourist also features the engraved views and folding maps that made Black’s guides a household name. Every page reflects the Victorian passion for the sublime and the scenic. A vivid window onto how Scotland was seen, and sold, in the nineteenth century..." - Black's Picturesque Tourist of Scotland / Guide to Scotland Published 1878, Adam and Charles Black, Edinburgh Check out my other book posts as well!
