Paperback. Etat : New. A topographer and naturalist whose correspondents included Carl Linnaeus and Gilbert White, Thomas Pennant (1726?1798) was also a great traveller and a keenly observant commentator. On his second tour of Scotland, he drew on the expertise of two travelling companions, a botanist and a Gaelic scholar, and his account of the journey accurately describes and documents landscape, history, traditions and living conditions, making the Tour an excellent guide to the 18th-century Highlands and Hebrides.
