Excerpt from Scottish Pictures: Drawn With Pen and Pencil
Glasgow by the dales of the Annan and the Nith. We have traveled by all these lines in turn. And have found in every one a special charm. In picturesqueness perhaps the palm must be conceded to the route by the East coast. On which, from the first glimpse of Berwick with its encircling wall, its high red roofs, and its houses, seeming from the railway above to be crowded together on the steep river’s bank, every mile is full of charm; especially where the line reaches the verge of the cliff, with the noble expanse of the German Ocean full in view, or where, diverging inland, it passes through the rich pastures and great cornfields of Haddingtonshire, throughout which, down to the close-cropped hedges, economizing arable space, everything speaks of high farming on a kindly soil.
