A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland by Samuel Johnson
"A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland" by Samuel Johnson is a travel narrative published in 1775. It chronicles Johnson's eighty-three-day journey through Scotland's Highlands and Hebrides islands in 1773, accompanied by his friend James Boswell. Johnson explores a rapidly changing Scotland still marked by clan traditions, primitive conditions, and depopulation. He observes Scottish life, language, customs, and landscapes, capturing a romantic yet vanishing world that existed somewhere between medieval and
modern times. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
