About this book
The Country of Sir Walter Scott by Charles S. Olcott is illustrated with photographs taken by the author, and its contents include chapters bearing the names of individual works. The account of legal apprenticeship describes studying law and copying legal documents by hand, with as many as a hundred and twenty pages sometimes completed in a day. The residence of the Earl of Traquair is described as a place on the Scottish Border that Scott knew well and frequently visited while writing Waverley.
The account of St. Anthony’s Chapel places the ruined building on a rugged hillside overlooking St. Margaret’s Loch and recalls a scene from Scott’s tale. The description of a garden records an arched screen copied from the cloisters of Melrose Abbey.
