In Search of Scotland

Photographs from In Search of Scotland by H. V. Morton, 1929. These beautiful photographs are out of copyright (UK before 1957) but the text itself is not, so I have included only short extracts (allowed under “Fair Dealing”).

The sizes here refer to the photograph and not the border, which is actually printed in the book, I think in an attempt to mimic the more expensive and older style of pasting in plates.
