Nineteenth century Romanticism fostered an appreciation for the wild qualities of Scotland's scenery.

The patronage of no less a figure than Queen Victoria gave added impetus to tourism, especially in the Highlands.

Landscapes combining mountain and loch were especially favoured, though the straths and glens of the Grampians, in north-east Scotland, also attracted scenic tourism. This photograph shows a coach party in the 1920s.
