This work is a facsimile reprint of Hugh Miller's 1857 notes recording his rambles around Scotland in the mid 1840s. Of interest to local historians, geologists, readers of great Scottish literature and lovers of the Western Isles and Northern Scotland.
This account shows the full range of Hugh Miller's interests - the lyrical description of the scenery and accounts of beautiful fossils show a deep affection for the Scottish landscape, while his role as a serious religious journalist and social crusader is highlighted in his discussions on the Disruption and the Highland Clearances.

Hugh Miller was a self-made man who became a figure of national renown in the fields of social commentary, literature, religion and geology. The Introduction and Notes to this facsimile edition are by Dr Michael Taylor, Curator of Vertebrate Palaeontology at the National Museums of Scotland; the Preface is by Professor T C Smout, Historiographer Royal for Scotland.
