Scope and content
Material relating to the publication of the diary of Thomas Colville Scott, a Scotsman sent to survey the Martin Estate in 1853 on behalf of a group of London business men. Colville Scott's journal records extraordinary encounters with the survivors of the Famine years, observations on his accommodation, and an experience with the Guardians of Clifden Workhouse. The diary was published by The Lilliput Press in 1995 with an introductory essay by Tim Robinson giving the background of Connemara history and clarifying obscure references. The book was published with a map of Connemara and the Martin Estate, alongside a daily itinerary of his journey.
