“It is amazingly cheap at ten shillings net, for it contains an album of coloured pictures, by the aid of which we can realise the grandest scenery of the outer isles. Mr. Smith has done his work admirably, and has included the best-loved and loneliest places.”—British Weekly.
“It is not merely as a Scot, but as one whose heart is in the Highlands, that he [the author] describes the beauties of loch and glen, of frowning hills and rugged coast. Nor is it merely with the outward and physical aspect of the Western Highlands and Islands that he is familiar. He has imbibed their very spirit. He knows their romantic history and their still more romantic legends. He understands the Highland folk and their ways. He is full of anecdotes and reminiscences which illustrate their peculiarities and prejudices.... Altogether, his book is charming.”—Glasgow Herald.
