Synopsis
Excerpt from Guide to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland: Including Orkney and Zetland, Descriptive of Their Scenery, Statistics, Antiquities, and Natural History
Though the plan of the first Edition led to greater use being made, than in subsequent Editions, of the benefits of the scientific aid, which the kindness of Drs. Hibbert, Sir W. J. Hooker, Sir Roderick Impey Murcheson, and the Reverend George Gordon of Birnie, put at their command, the Authors would again tender their grateful acknowledgments to these gentlemen. This Edition is enriched with a valuable synopsis of the Geology of Morayshire by Alexander Robertson, Esq, of Elgin.
