Hogg left a written record of three of his many journeys to the Highlands,
those of 1802, 1803 and 1804, and in Highland Journeys he offers a
thoughtful and deeply-felt response to the Highland Clearances. He gives
vivid pictures of his experiences, including a narrow escape from a Navy
press-gang, and a Sacrament day with one minister preaching in English
and another in Gaelic. Highland Journeys makes a refreshing contribution to our understanding of early nineteenth-century travel writing.
