About the author

Born in Edinburgh on 15 August 1771, Sir Walter Scott became one of the most widely read writers of the 19th century. He was a Scottish novelist, poet, and historian, and is often credited with establishing the historical novel as a major literary form.

Scott first won a large audience with his narrative poems, including The Lay of the Last Minstrel, Marmion, and The Lady of the Lake. He later turned to fiction and wrote the hugely popular Waverley novels, along with enduring works such as Rob Roy and Ivanhoe, blending vivid storytelling with a strong sense of history and place.

He spent much of his later life at Abbotsford in the Scottish Borders, a home closely tied to his literary identity and love of Scotland's past. Scott died there on 21 September 1832, but his influence remained enormous: he helped turn Scottish history and legend into international literature.
