Description

Prize Binding

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish novelist and poet. Scott remains a celebrated figure in Scottish literary history, and the landscape of Scotland features heavily in his works. He was particularly popular as a poet, and remained the most celebrated poet in his day until Lord Byron's 'Childe Harold's Pilgrimage' in 1812. His poetry included 'Marmion', 'The Lady of the Lake', 'Sir Tristrem' and 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border'.
