Sir Walter Scott's epic tale in verse of high romance, chivalry and daring deeds in the rugged and romantic Highlands of Scotland in days of old was a publishing sensation when it originally appeared in 1810. The world's first international blockbuster was received with wild enthusiasm throughout Europe and beyond.

Many of the people who read and loved The Lady of the Lake subsequently travelled to Scotland to see for themselves the locations where Sir Walter had set his tale. This has led to the poet and novelist being credited as the Father of Scottish Tourism.

The Lady of the Lake

The Lady of the Lake is set in the first half of the 16th century, two hundred years before it was written, and concerns an ongoing feud between the Scottish monarch of the time, King James V, and the Douglas clan. In the guise of a mysterious stranger, the king journeys to the Douglas stronghold on an island in Loch Katrine. Here he meets and falls in love with Ellen, the spirited daughter of the Earl of Douglas. Ellen, however, loves another.
