A charming, illustrated manuscript diary recording a seven-week sojourn in Tarbert, Scotland, in August, 1897. The intermittent entries primarily take the for of whimsical original verses documenting the day's events: 'The sky was bright, the sea was blue, What matter if the wind it blew? We took our luncheon basket out to tea'.
