Product Description
Following the success of an "Eye on the Hebrides", Mairi Hedderwick was urged to embark on further travels. It was no easy task. A new journey, with its inherent deprivations and discomforts, could not be done to order. It had to be a compulsion - an inspiration. In the spirit of emulating her model, Mairi travelled, as the Victorian artist, J.T. Reid did, mostly on foot and even sold her house in Inverness and lodged in Edinburgh, Reid's starting place, following his sketching tour of Scotland.

 I read this book from beginning to end... November 9, 2008
I really felt as if I was with the author as she travelled the Scottish Highlands. As an artist and writer myself, with a fondness for travel journals, I found this one an unadulterated delight.
 Highland Journey January 26, 2000
Mairi follows the path of a 19th century artist who traveled through the highlands, sketching as he went. The book provides a very interesting comparison of the two century's perpectives on the highlands as well as enjoyable watercolor paintings of the highlands
