Wikipedia

Sir Walter Scott, primer baronet, fue un prolífico novelista e poeta histórico escocés, muy popular en toda Europa durante su época. Se dice que Scott estaba especialmente vinculado al torismo, aunque varios pasajes de *Tales of a Grandfather* (*Cuentos de un abuelo*) muestran una visión liberal, progresista y unionista de la historia de Escocia.
