Famous Scots - Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) Born in Edinburgh, the ninth child of a lawyer, Scott contracted polio as a child which left him with a permanent limp. He trained as a lawyer and it was not until 1802 that he first published a collection of ballads "The Border Minstrelsy" and in 1814 his first novel "Waverley" was published. This was an instant success and he produced a string of novels in the following years, such as Rob Roy , Guy Mannering, Ivanhoe , Old Mortality, and The Talisman A prominent figure in Edinburgh society, he entertained famous people like Washington Irving and William Wordsworth. He was knighted in 1820 and organised the visit of King George IV to Scotland in 1822. He practically re-invented Highland society and clan tartans (which had not previously existed in this form) for the visit. Even the king was bedecked in false tartanry. Scott's interest in things Scottish led him to rediscover the Scottish crown and sceptre which had been left, forgotten, in Edinburgh Castle . He also fought a successful defence of Scottish Banknotes - his portrait is on current Bank of Scotland notes in memory of that event. monument to him in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh.

43. Scottish Quotations (6) But where s the Scot that would vaunt repay, And hail the puny Tiber for the Tay? From The Fair Maid of Perth by Sir Walter Scott (17711832) http://www.rampantscotland.com/quotations/blquotesf.htm

Scottish Quotations - Page 6 Statue of Sir Walter Scott, below the Scott Monument, Princes Street, Edinburgh "O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band, That knits me to thy rugged strand!" Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive." Perhaps you have heard this quotation and did not know who first said it? It was penned by Sir Walter Scott. Breathes there a man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself has said, This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand! If such there be, go, mark him well; For him no Minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair reknown, And doubly dying, shall go down

Sir Walter Scott Monument With Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) the Scottish novel had a new beginning which extinguished all that went before it. In 1814 his novel Waverley, based on the Jacobite Rising was an instant success and over the next dozen or so years he wrote 23 historical novels. At the age of 18 months his right leg was rendered permanently lame by polio, and as an infant he was sent to his grandfather's farm in the Borders. He studied law at Edinburgh University from 1783, with interruptions because of his illness. He was indentured in his father's legal practice on 31 March 1786, but did not qualify as an advocate until 11 July 1792. Scott was to continue in his legal career until retiring in 1830. Scott published all his novels anonymously. Initially this may have been a precaution against the possible failure of "Waverley"; but even after its enormous success, Scott seems to have enjoyed prolonging the mystery (he was nicknamed "The Great Unknown" and "The Wizard Of The North"). His identity as the author of "Waverley" and its successors soon became an open secret, fairly widely known, but it was not until February 1827 that he officially "revealed" himself, at a public dinner in Edinburgh. Scott's novels generally depicted a deep understanding of the people and period they attempted to portray.In his Scottish novels he treats the history with great care and affection.

Sir Walter Scott WRITER Scott was born in Edinburgh and from an early age began to explore the country, listening avidly to Scottish songs and stories. Called to the bar at 21, he served on the bench as sheriff depute for a spell before being appointed a clerk of session in 1806. In the previous year he had published his long poem, Lay of the Last Minstrel . The novel Waverley was published anonymously in 1814, and his prose output thereafter was prodigious - something like 23 books in 12 years. Scott's novels were immensely popular, not only in this country. He was deeply patriotic, and his writing is credited with having rekindled the embers of Scottish national sentiment. His Edinburgh home during this period was at no. 39 North Castle Street. In 1826 the business failure of Scott's publisher, John Ballantyne (with whom Scott was in partnership) precipitated the great crisis in the author's life. Characteristically he vowed to repay the creditors by means of his writing. Scott became a literary workaholic. In heroically tackling what seemed an impossible task, Scott undermined his health, and seven years later he died at his beloved Abbotsford, in the Borders

Next Sir Walter Scott Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh on 15 August 1771 (a plaque at 8 Chambers St marks the approximate spot). His father (also called Walter) was a Writer to the Signet (solicitor); his mother Anne Rutherford was the daughter of a professor of medicine. At the age of 18 months his right leg was rendered permanently lame by polio, and as an infant he was sent to his grandfather's farm in the Borders. He would divide his time between Edinburgh and the Borders for the rest of his life. In 1775 the family moved to a more spacious house at 25 George Square, where Scott was to live until 1797. He was educated at home until October 1779, when he was enrolled at the High School of Edinburgh. He also attended Kelso Grammar School during stays in the Borders. He studied law at Edinburgh University from 1783, with interruptions because of his illness. He was indentured in his father's legal practice on 31 March 1786, but did not qualify as an advocate until 11 July 1792. Scott was to continue in his legal career until retiring in 1830. Scott's interest in traditional ballads was formed in childhood, and during his stays in the Borders he began collecting them. He was also interested in German literature, and his first publications were translations of ballads by Gottfried Augustus Burger (1796), and of Goethe's "Gotz von Berlichingen" (1799).
