As well as a fascinating insight into the experience of travellers and tourists, it also considers how they impacted on the experience of the Scottish people themselves.'Just as we currently have to divert our wanderlust to virtual journeys with photos and videos, so the would-be traveller in 18th century London was able to marvel at the magnificent of Scotland from afar thanks to paintings and drawings by adventurous artists such as JMW TurnerSound familiar?'
