This book is the story of a remarkable quest; a search for the history behind a faded photograph album discovered in a second-hand bookshop in Stockport in 1986. Within its pages lay a chronicle of a tour made in Scotland over a century ago; images of a now vanished world people by busy Victorian businessmen, Highland soldiers, tinsmiths, fishermen, crofters, washerwomen and impoverished children. Through painstaking reconstruction, the names, dates and details about the lives of those whose hauntingly evocative faces peer at us from these pages have been restored, making this one of the finest records of a Victorian Highland Tour.
