Description

The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.D. is a travel journal by Scotsman James Boswell first published in 1785.

In 1773, Boswell enticed his English friend Samuel Johnson to accompany him on a tour through the highlands and western islands of Scotland.

Johnson was then in his mid sixties and well known for his literary works and his Dictionary.

The two travellers set out from Edinburgh and skirted the eastern and northeastern coasts of Scotland, passing through St Andrews, Aberdeen and Inverness.

They then passed into the highlands and spent several weeks on various islands in the Hebrides, including Skye, Coll, and Mull.

After a visit to Boswell's estate at Auchinleck, the travellers returned to Edinburgh.

Johnson published his Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland on 18 January 1775.
