William Daniell completed his impressive voyage around the coast of Britian in 1823, ten years after  he began the first leg of his journey. His account of his adventures both on land and at sea form an important record of life in Georgian Britian, whilst the superb set of aquatints he published form a crucial topographical record. Those of the far north of Scotland are of particular importance, for they show parts of Britain that had never been visited by artists up to that time. Very few people in Georgian England would have known of the magnificent scenery to be found north of Inverness.
