Sir Walter Scott
A Trailblazer Who Changed the World
A video talk
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.
I’ve got lots of intriguing stories to help you understand what motivated Sir Walter Scott.

“Few authors have shaped the imagination of a nation as Sir Walter Scott did.” ― Sir Walter Scott: The Novelist by David Hewitt
Scott’s 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.
Discover the extraordinary works and legacy of this man who was so loved in his lifetime and has been so ignored in the 20th and 21st centuries.

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.
