Summary: "Footsteps of Dr. Johnson (Scotland)" by George Birkbeck Hill is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the journey of Dr. Samuel Johnson through Scotland, detailing the various places he visited and the cultural nuances he observed during his travels. The author aims to bring to light the Scotland that Johnson experienced, emphasizing the social customs and traditions rather than the scenic beauty of the landscape. At the start of the book, the author explains his motivation for writing, sparked by his desire to document the sites associated with Johnson's travels as described in his letters and travel journals. Hill notes the existence of multiple accounts of Johnson's journey, including those by Boswell, and expresses his intention to weave these narratives into a cohesive account that honors the daily life and customs of the people Johnson encountered. The opening also hints at the fondness Johnson had for anecdotes and the rich traditions surrounding his legacy in Scotland, establishing a groundwork for exploring both Johnson's perspectives and the landscape he traversed.
