Old Photograph Hill Walking Guide Scotland

Old photograph of a Scottish hill walking guide in the Cairngorms of Scotland. The idea of undertaking a walk through the countryside for pleasure developed in the 18th century, and arose because of changing attitudes to the landscape and nature, associated with the Romantic movement. In earlier times walking generally indicated poverty and was also associated with vagrancy.
