Sir Walter Scott

4 Scottish Trailblazers Who Changed the World

No writer has ever been as famous as Sir Walter Scott once was, who was then followed by such total neglect and even hostility. But Scotland as we know it would simply not be Scotland without Sir Walter Scott – most icons of Scottishness have their roots in his life, novels and poems, from Balmoral Castle, to the tartan, from tourism to the Crown Jewels. Intriguing stories will help you understand what motivated Sir Walter Scott. I’ll identify and analyse his main works, describe the influence that his era, lifestyle, and circumstances had on his work and life. The talk is illustrated with photographs, paintings, scenes from movies, and book covers – you’ll have plenty to look at while you listen.

The greatest Scot of all time

His legacy was enormous and French writer Stendhal called him “the Father of us all”. Scott invented the historical novel, he started the Scottish tourist industry, he saved the Scottish banknote, and he was a key figure in the Romantic movement. His poems and novels have inspired composers, artists and other writers.

    Thanks for another interesting talk Susannah.
    As an adjunct, I’ve just finished watching a show “Scotland in search of Sir Walter Scott” made in 2021, which is currently streaming on SBS On Demand.
    I thought you (and your subscribers) may be interested.

      I also watched that programme and really enjoyed it. But thanks for letting me know about it in case I had missed it.
