Samuel Johnson's *A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland* and James Boswell's *The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides* recounts their tour of Scotland in 1773. While Johnson focuses on Scotland itself, Boswell is even keener on presenting his friend to the notables of his homeland. Together they form a complete account of a fascinating journey, two intriguing personalities, and of a society coming to terms with itself after a period of drastic upheaval.
