Rollo in Scotland by Jacob Abbott
"Rollo in Scotland" by Jacob Abbott is a fictional travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around a young boy, Rollo, who embarks on a fortnight-long journey to Scotland with his uncle George and encounters various adventures, including meeting a new friend and observing significant sites along the way. The book aims to provide readers, particularly young audiences, with insights into Scotland's culture, geography, and its enchanting landscapes. At
the start of the narrative, Rollo and his uncle George travel from Liverpool to Glasgow by steamer. Rollo meets Waldron Kennedy, a lively boy who faces constant restrictions and often finds himself in trouble, inviting a friendship that promises to add excitement to their trip. The opening chapters outline their initial observations and interactions aboard the ship, setting the stage for the exploration of Scotland’s bustling cities and eventual foray into its picturesque Highlands. The aim is not only to entertain young readers but also to impart lessons on observation, friendship, and the value of adhering to rules, creating an engaging blend of adventure and education.
