About This Item
This is a first edition of the revised edition of Autumns in Skye, Ross and Sutherland, a travel chronicle written by the Reverend Thomas Ratcliffe Burnett (1868-1946). Burnett was a Presbyterian minister, mountaineer and lecturer in English Literature who wrote several travel chronicles on various parts of Scotland.
He wrote this book in the 1920s and it was first published in 1930. He then continually updated and revised it. When he died in 1946, the son of his original publisher issued the revised version.
Other copies of this revised version state 'London 1946'; this one is the original, published in Edinburgh.
It is a travel book, 'exploring the Glens, Castles and towns within Skye, Ross and Sutherland'.It has black and white plates, and maps to the endpapers.
198 pages. Blue boards. I don't have the dust jacket.
The exterior of this book is not in the best of shape, because the person who gave it to me went on his own tour of Skye, Ross and Sutherland, and took the book with him, following Barnett's steps as closely as possible.The inside is fine though. The pages have darkened a little, but it is perfectly readable.
