Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, FRSE was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright, and poet. Scott was the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers in Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and poetry are still read, and many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature.

 

The Bride of Lammermoor

Set in the Lammermuir Hills of south-east Scotland at the beginning of the 18th century, it tells the story of a tragic love affair between young Lucy Ashton and her family's enemy, Edgar Ravenswood. The Ashtons and Ravenswoods have been enemies for centuries – but will a proposed union between the warring families finally bring peace?

 

Ivanhoe

In 1194, in the wake of failed Third Crusade, Richard the Lionheart is reported to have been captured and imprisoned in Austria. In his absence, his brother Prince John is plotting to claim the throne of England. Amid the turmoil, the valiant Wilfred of Ivanhoe, one of the few remaining Saxon lords, is rumoured to have mounted an attempt to rescue his king, and his lady love Rowena anxiously awaits news of his success.

 

Redgauntlet

In the year 2035, Alan's best friend Danny disappears after the arrival of Stuart Galloway - who is also known as Redgauntlet. His friend's absence seems to be connected to the appearance of the mysterious man, who says he has business with Alan's father Alexander.

 

The Fair Maid of Perth

When he refuses to join the business his father sends him north to stay with his Uncle - a radical and mixed up in the cause of Irish Nationalism.
