Traveller’s Tales
Many interesting and celebrated characters have written about
their travels around the south-West of Scotland. This gives us an
intriguing insight into the impressions they had of the area and
serves as an important primary source of people's views on the
landscape, its towns, its people and the changes that took place in
the region over the years. Many reviews are serious but others are
often amusing or opinionated but all are valuable records of not
only the periods in which they were written, but of the writers
themselves.
