Alexander Watson Dunlop began writing his diary in 1881. He was studying to become a physician at the University of Glasgow but before writing the current events of his life, he recalls a story of adventure from his boyhood that he entitled “The Fenwick Escapade”. (Imagine two Scottish eleven year old boys as the cast of the movie “Stand By Me” and you will get a glimpse into this story)
His writing is introspective, descriptive, and very well done, making it interesting reading. We have enjoyed this diary from its initial pages and hope you will too.
