Beyond the Tweed: A Tour of Scotland in 1858 | Theodor Fontane

2 posts | 4 read

This delightful account of a journey around Scotland with the artist Bernhard von Lepel as companion reads as freshly today as when first published. Fontane wrote Beyond the Tweed before becoming a celebrated novelist; it is a product of his years of working in Britain as a journalist, where he developed a deep love of English and Scottish history and culture, of Shakespeare, Walter Scott, and of Scottish ballads.

Beyond the Tweed: A Tour of Scotland in 1858 | Theodor Fontane

pick

Finished this 19th century travelogue by famous German poet Theodor Fontane back in Troon. The routes of the tourists in Scotland did not change that much, we did the same one, only the other way round. It was quite interesting to read Fontane‘s descriptions of the countryside abd the different places and compare it to today - especially Edinburgh. I will definitely take it with me again next year when I am going to do second Scotland trip.
