Scotland/Scots > Black's picturesque tourist of Scotland

When a tourist arrives in Scotland, he is sometimes at a loss to know
how best to lay out the time at his disposal. The object of the fol-
| lowing directions is to supply him with a few hints how he may spend
reeahly from a couple to fourteen days. It is not generally known
*hat the facilities now afforded during the summer months are such
to enable any one to run over the greater part of Scotland in a
prery short space of time. Even in one day the distance that may be
itravelled is greater than many are aware of. For example, any one
leaving Edinburgh in the morning can reach the head of Loch Lomond,
and return the same evening; any one leaving Inverness in the
morning can make one of the most agreeable tours down the Caledo¬
nian Canal, and round a considerable portion of the West Coast of
Scotland, where the scenery is of the very finest description, and
arrive in Glasgow or Edinburgh the next evening, in time to catch
the train for Liverpool, Manchester, or London. By leaving the
^roomielaw, Glasgow, in the morning, the tourist may sleep at the
foot of Ben Nevis in the evening, and another day will enable him to
penetrate into some of the most remote districts of the Highlands.
