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.
Anne Grant's 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 2
includes engaging descriptions of the pleasures of rural life
alongside frank and emotional accounts 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
