This thesis engages with travel writing at two levels: pedagogically and practically. It discusses at length, the unique configuration of travel writing’s literary currencies and conventions. Primary linguistic data were collected from travel texts collated within a portfolio of the researcher’s own negotiated and sustained practice as a travel writer. Within this portfolio the researcher engaged with a variety of travel text types, including a travel blog, prose and a poem. A close reading of these portfolio texts is presented, along with the introduction of the Aim, Design, Assessment (ADA) apparatus – a tool developed to aid the analysis and understanding of travel writing for both writers and commissioning editors. The findings present the following conclusions; Travel writing’s pedagogy does inform the practice, by way of its generic currencies and their inclusion within a travel writer’s professional practice. Secondly, that the ADA apparatus is a tool that the practitioner has applied here with measurable success in changing and developing both her writing and her attention to language. Within its conclusions, the thesis reflects on the researcher’s ResM Travel Writing degree and provides suggestions of how the genre can be taught academically. It documents a set of practices that the researcher evolved to professionalise her own travel writing. This positions the work within the discipline of applied research, where the science of academic research disclosures can be recycled into the pedagogic education and professional practice of travel writing. Examining travel writing from an interdisciplinary perspective (Tourism Knowledge, Design & Literary Studies) it also contributes to the volume of new tourism knowledge and introduces travel writing’s role as a toureme conduit.

This Thesis aims to survey how writers reacted to "The Tour" of Scotland between 1760 - 1833. The first two chapters show how the early travellers were affected by their differing opinions about the romantic, mythical works of Ossian, reinvented by James Macpherson but opposed by the more scientific approach of Scotland of Thomas Pennant and Samuel Johnson. This leads to a consideration of the nature of the more general tour books of the period, their shared literariness and coherence of picturesque convention which established the tour, mixed with progressive concerns of social and agricultural 'improvement' applied to Scotland. The reactions of the canonical Romantic writers are then investigated. Burns's Tours of Scotland led to a fragmentary written response but stimulated his interest in the tradition of Scottish song. Dorothy Wordsworth expressed an interest in the communities she visited, and an insight into the landscape as material for visionary insight and personal appropriation, next shown to be converted by William Wordsworth into a more delayed, abstract and symbolic stimulus to poetry. Coleridge is then seen to have a more immediate ability to convert natural objects into metaphor that responded to his emotional and intellectually speculative needs as he toured. This contrasts with James Hogg's practical and agricultural interest in the observation of issues of improvement in terms of social analysis based on belief and experiences on his tour strong on personal encounter. Lastly, Walter Scott's exploitation of his touring experiences in poetry and fiction, is investigated showing how through his work he stimulated others to travel, seeing the Scottish countryside as national, historical and monumental, a place to be visited. The varied reactions of the writers also constitute an interesting contribution to Scottish topographical tradition.

Fynes Moryson’s Itenerary (1617) is an important source work which is used to substantiate studies in a range of different fields. Despite its wide reception, little is known of either Moryson or the intended purpose of his work. There are a number of unexplored sources which can add to academic understanding of the Itenerary, and contribute new insights which will add to Moryson’s life history. Amongst these are letters, documents, archival material and two extant Latin manuscripts that represent versions of parts one and two of the Itenerary. I examine the Latin manuscript version of part one to the Itenerary, the Itinerarium Pars Prima. This takes the form of a preliminary investigation, which will make the manuscript accessible for future scholarship. I compare the sections of the manuscript to parallel content in the printed Itenerary, and investigate differences between them. This investigation of the manuscript is supported and contextualised by a biographical study, which examines new sources for Fynes Moryson’s life history. This study explores archival records, letters and documents in combination with the printed Itenerary in order to revise elements of Moryson’s biography. Together the two parts of the thesis contribute analyses of new documents to the study of Moryson and the Itenerary, and take a preliminary step towards making the Itinerarium Pars Prima accessible to scholars.

The Films of Scotland Committee (1938 and 1954-82) produced one hundred and sixty eight documentaries on Scotland and Scottish life; the thesis is an archaeology of those documentaries. The thesis breaks from a film theory discourse that has marginalised documentary to argue that the genre should be understood as a cultural technology, an exhibitionary apparatus that draws on a variety of discursive formations in its production of knowledge. Similarly, the thesis argues that the representation of Scotland should not be understood as an aesthetic failure to represent the reality of life in Scotland, but as a distinct discursive practice that emerged at a specific historical period, a practice regulated by the rules of formation of the discourses within which it operates. The thesis outlines the history of Scottish film culture before 1938, and examines the formation of the Committee by the Scottish Office, arguing that this needs to be understood in relation to the history of public cultural policy in Britain since the mid nineteenth century. It examines the Committee's commitment to 'the national interest, and its relation to the mechanics and legitimation of state authority. A discursive analysis of The Face of Scotland (193 8) begins to identify the discursive regimes on which Films of Scotland documentaries draw in their production of knowledge. The thesis argues that this film occupies a space of representation opened up by the discursive formations of ethnography and history, and a discourse of nationhood, and traces the formation of this space by looking at the earlier surfaces of emergence of these discourses. It also begins to suggest the ways in which these discourses engage with the construction of cultural and national identities. Arguing that the figure of the tour is central to the Films of Scotland documentaries, th e thesis traces the emergence of the tour as a cultural technology in Scotland from the eighteenth century travel writing of Martin Martin and Boswell and Johnson, to the apparatuses of tourism established by Thomas Cook. The last part of the thesis focuses on the travelogue as a sub-genre of documentary, mapping out both the technologies of vision on which it draws, and its generic 'regime of verisimilitude', structured, it is argued, by an oscillation between the discourses of history and ethnography. Finally the thesis argues that what remains hegemonic in Scottish culture are not particular images and narratives, but the very concept of national culture itself, and the nature, rather than the content, of national identity.
