The call in the Hebrides, the Robson lose all the time and opportunity (first to take advantage of school holidays, followed by working vacation), from the British mainland to start long-distance travel, travel by steamer, car, boat or on foot, in the Sky Island, Lewis Island and the mountains and the wilderness of Harris and the Gulf Islands adventure, and even

They have often been shrouded mist and rain almost all the time experiencing wind erosion, water around the vagaries of even the most experienced captain on the field test is also within a day, sometimes rippling sea, as if a peacock blue satin , sometimes rough, turned into bronze, reddish numerous bubbles. Thousands of years, people here are struggling to survive. Even so, the Celts, Vikings, and the subsequent Scottish and British, are trying to dominate the coast. Today, only a few dozen in the Hebrides islands are inhabited.

Johnson said residents of mainland Britain Hebrides understanding at the most with the The only written records are on how to What resources development? Islands can carry how many people will give the land owners what kind of revenue? Johnson, in his travel notes in the Hebrides, almost throughout the text are complaining about the difficult journey, and the unbearable conditions of the rural accommodation.
However, despite a disgruntled Johnson about this rugged land value of the other view is gradually attention. Scottish Enlightenment thinkers (especially philosophers David? Hume and geologist James?

In an increasingly mechanized, urbanized world, nature has become a refuge, a change in human emotion and thought with great strength, suitable for contemplation, a place to seek inspiration.
