Rob Roy MacGregor is the romantic outlaw who comes alive in Sir Walter Scott's classic epic of the passions and struggles of the Scottish border lands. Rob Roy follows the adventures of a businessman's son, Frank Osbaldistone, who is sent to stay in Scotland where he is intrigued by the wild and noble land. He finds himself drawn to the powerful enigmatic figure of Rob Roy who, with his wife, fights for justice and dignity for the Scottish people.
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), Scottish novelist and poet, was born at Edinburgh. When young he was sent to his grandfather’s farm at Sandyknowe, where he first saw the the Border country, which figured so prominently in his creative work. He didn’t show promise at the University—his real education instead coming from people and books, ranging from Spenser to German ballad poetry. He did better in his father’s law office as a law clerk, where he was admitted as an advocate in 1792. While a volunteer in the yeomanry on a ‘raid’, he met Mlle Charpentier, daughter of a French émigré, whom he married Christmas Eve 1797. Two years later he was appointed sheriff of Selkirkshire.
