I am a direct descendant of Meg through her 4th son James...she is my 9th great grandmother!
Thank you for this. I never knew Scott & Turner met, much less interacted on one of the author's projects.
Wow amazing there are relatives ..❤
❤this is lovely 😍 so nice to have a story told x
Thank you!
Just finished reading Pearson's short bio of Scott before I dig into my collection of his world which I have been collecting over the years. Sadly I just discovered this presentation today....a year after the celebration of his life. No mention of such here in the USA. Better later than never! And I'll think of him everytime I don my clergy tartan kilt and play my pipes!
This looks like it would really flick my bean.
4:20 didn't anyone point it out to her that's not the way to sit in front of a camera? Was she showing her dirty boots to the audience? I mean what is that way of sitting and talking? Other than that, an excellent ode to Sir Walter Scott, and he definitely deserves more recognition.
Lovely, I am planning a visit to Abbotsford in October, 2022m and I look forward to seeing this blotter.
Sir Walter Scott is my favorite Romantic. Odd that he's seldom included in the same breath as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, Shelley et al. I guess that's because he's in a league of his own. Thank you for this presentation.
I’m on second reading of his journal. ♥️ Love this video!
Meg is my 9th great-grandmother
She’s my 13th great grandaunt!
Excellent program. This is the first I've heard of the250th anniversary. By coincidence, I've only just started reading Scott. In purusing a shelf-full of his works at the local library today, it's astounding that a single human-being could be capable of such a tremendous output, though Dickens comes to mind. I enjoyed the brief-clip of the Scott portrayer in this, seen at his desk writing, then petting his dog. The portrayer really resembles the man. Light-show was great, too. Scott's novels certainly are set in a truly-magical landscape!
At his best he was the equal of Dickens or Victor Hugo . He was the inspiration for many others. Conan Doyle often expressed his ambition to write historical fiction that would match that of Scott . His " Micah Clark " was a good example. Unfortunately Conan Doyle got sidetracked by a certain Mr Holmes.....
Folio Society has just released Rob Roy in a special limited edition to commemorate Scott!
Who on earth is this fat troll? great subject matter however
Smailholm Tower Light Show is Brilliant. Thank you for sharing it.
