Judith Anderson is a Senior Cultural Significance Adviser at Historic Environment Scotland. Tourists have been attracted to Scotland for a long time, encouraged by books such as the 1799 “A Companion and Useful Guide to the Beauties of Scotland” by Mrs Murray, mostly written from personal experience. Scottish tourism became a boom industry by the 1840’s and the Talk, with many pictures, shows examples of such tourism – of which our area has it’s fair share!
