At the time, Barbizon was a meeting place for Impressionist painters like <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jean-Baptiste_Camille_Corot\">Camille Corot<\/a> (1796-1875), <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jean-Fran%C3%A7ois_Millet\">Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Millet<\/a> (1814-1875), <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Th%C3%A9odore_Rousseau\">Th\u00e9odore Rousseau<\/a> (1812-1867), and other members of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%C3%89cole_de_Barbizon\">Barbizon school<\/a>. This stay was an important moment in the writer's development. In his diary, he describes Barbizon and the forest as places of calm and inspiration, perfect for getting away from the pressures of society and the frenzy of city life.

The dark and mysterious atmosphere of certain parts of Edinburgh inspired stories such as <em>The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde<\/em>. Lothian, on the other hand, is known for its hills, beaches and villages.
