No writer has ever achieved the level of fame and recognition as Sir Walter Scott, and no writer has ever experienced such a surge of adoration followed by such a complete disregard and outright hostility. However, Scotland would not be Scotland without Scott. The essence of Scottishness can be traced back to Scott's novels, poems, public events, and historical narratives. It is a legacy that is both inspiring and limiting, serving as one of the ironic connections that unite Scott and Scotland into the realm known as Scott-land.
In his book, Stuart Kelly presents Scott as a paradox: a celebrity unknown, a nationalist unionist, a aristocrat cherished by communists, and a forward-looking reactionary. This book encompasses various aspects, including literary analysis, biography, travelogue, and a subtle autobiography. Scott-land offers a comprehensive exploration of a complex and contradictory individual, as well as the intricate and contradictory country he envisioned. It provides insights, accessibility, wit, and a touch of melancholy, offering a unique "voyage around my fatherland" that stands apart from any other.
