First published in 1806, and revised and edited by her son for this
1845 sixth edition, this collection of letters by Anne Grant (1755
1838) tells her story of thirty years' residence in the Scottish
Highlands. Described by the author as 'sketches of a life spent in
the most remote obscurity', it was one of the first works to
acquaint the public with the romantic scenery of the Highlands. Her
lyrical descriptions of the landscape and characters of the rural
parish of Laggan caught the imagination of a generation captivated
by the poetry of Scott and Burns. Volume 1 begins with Anne
McVicar's arrival in the Highlands, describes her marriage, and
offers frank revelations of personal tragedies. The work is an
important example of a woman's literary contribution to the
Romantic movement. For more information on this author, see http:
