Our Journey to the Hebrides
E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Fulvia Hughes, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Our Journey to the Hebrides" by Joseph Pennell and Elizabeth Robins Pennell is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This account chronicles the authors’ experiences as they traverse the Scottish Highlands and Islands, focusing on their observations of the landscape and the hardships faced by the local population. The book is characterized by its candid reflections on the realities of travel and the socio-economic conditions of the Hebrides, challenging the romanticized depictions often associated with this region. At the start of the journey, the authors express initial reluctance about traveling to Scotland due to their ignorance and preconceived notions about the country. However, they detail their experiences from the moment they arrive in Edinburgh, humorously recounting their preparations for an overwhelming walking tour inspired by Dr. Johnson's own travels. Through their journeys across various locales—filled with stunning landscapes and encounters with both beauty and despair—they come to a deeper understanding of the region's socio-political issues, particularly the plight of the crofters. The opening sets a tone for both adventure and somber reflection, suggesting that the Pennells’ exploration will be both physical and intellectual, delving into the heart of Scotland's contemporary struggles alongside its historical significance.
