About the author
Born in Edinburgh on August 1, 1822, James Grant was a Scottish novelist, historian, and miscellaneous writer, as well as a distant relative of Sir Walter Scott. He briefly served in the army before turning to writing, drawing on his military experience in many of his novels.
Grant produced more than fifty novels, including The Romance of War, Adventures of an Aide-de-Camp, Bothwell, Harry Ogilvie, and The Yellow Frigate. Many explored important figures and episodes in Scottish history, particularly the Highlands, the Borders, and Scotland’s military traditions.
He also wrote historical works such as the six-volume Old and New Edinburgh and was consulted by the War Office on military matters. Grant died in London on May 5, 1887.
