"Summer tours in Scotland - Glasgow to the Highlands" : booklet cover by David MacBrayne's : 1888

An early guide by the famous MacBrayne's steamer concern - MacBrayne had only assumed control of the previous concern he had been associated with, James Hutcheson Ltd. the previous year - the 'romantic' Highlands and Islands were heavily promoted as a Victorian holiday destination and the steamers provided the most accessible routes in connection with the new railway lines. The 'hardback' version of the guide was often in a plainer cover than the paperback.
