About this book
Scott set this novel in Scotland during the last ten years of the eighteenth century. It is the third of his tales of Scottish manners, after Waverley and Guy Mannering, and he drew his main characters from the class of people least touched by polish. The title figure is a collector of antiquities. Around him move the young Lovel, Sir Arthur Wardour and his daughter, and the wandering beggar Edie Ochiltree. Scenes in the illustrations include a rescue, the ruins of St Ruth and a funeral. First published in 1816.
