Tour of Scotland, &c.

Journal of a tour of Scotland and parts of England, 20 July-20 August 1847, by Thomas Letts, travelling with his wife Emma. The volume includes thirty-four full-page illustrations in pencil, watercolour and wash, some original and some derivative.
The journal begins with brief tours of Derbyshire and the Peak District (ff. 2-9) and the Lake District (ff. 9 verso-21). In Scotland they travelled from Gretna Green (f. 21 verso) to Glasgow (ff. 28 verso, 31 recto-verso, 33) and Loch Lomond (f. 35), as far west as Loch Awe (f. 42), north to Killiekranckie (f. 55), back through the Trossachs (ff. 67 verso-71), then to Stirling (ff. 72-75) and Edinburgh (ff. 76 verso-84). They returned to London through the Scottish Borders (ff. 83 verso-96 verso) and parts of eastern England, including Lincoln (ff. 101-105). Also included in the volume are seven printed engravings, mostly of Lincoln (ff. 102-104, 106-108, 111).
