| | Sir Walter Scott, Scottish Literature and The Trossachs, Scotland. |
| | Scott has been suggested as the originator of the historic novel of which Waverley (1814) was the first of many such to issue from his pen, including Rob Roy (1817), The Heart of Midlothian (1818), The Bride of Lammermoor (1818), Ivanhoe (1819), and The Talisman (1825). | | | An enduring monument to Scott is the S. Sir Walter Scott, the last passenger carrying steamship in service in the UK. | | | Plying back and forth on Loch Katrine, the ship was a hundred years old in 1998. |
