Holyrood, Glencoe, Skye and Shetland are among the places in Scottish Pictures, Samuel G. Green's illustrated account published by the Religious Tract Society in London in 1886. Edinburgh appears through Holyrood, the Grassmarket, Calton Hill and the winding streets below the castle, and the journey follows Loch Awe, the Trossachs, Speyside and the northern coast, with excursions to Iona. Castles, abbeys and churches share the pages with curling, fishing huts, open-air worship and Highland funerals, while portraits and commemorative subjects recall John Knox and the Covenant. Comparative illustrations from Rome, Egypt and Damascus also appear.
