Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland A.D. 1803
"Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland A.D. 1803" by Dorothy Wordsworth is a travel memoir written between 1803-1805 and published in 1874. The work chronicles a six-week, 663-mile journey through the Scottish Highlands with her brother William and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Traveling by jaunting car through dangerous roads and staying in conditions ranging from pleasant inns to smoky peasant huts, Dorothy captures both the rough realities of early nineteenth-century Scotland and the Romantic spirit of literary pilgrimage. Her vivid observations create what many consider a masterpiece of picturesque travel writing.
