Review # 1 was written on 2015-11-18 00:00:00 Paul L. Boyko There are many aspects to this work. The actual stories take up less space than the introductions, the explanatory notes and the framing device, a method of storytelling which Scott returned to time and time again. There is also a long verbatim report of speeches at an Edinburgh dinner of the great and the good literati and others of the time. All these elements, taken together, go a long way to explaining the character of the modern Scots and the continuing rumbles about independence. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-11-13 00:00:00 Rj Lemaster This is an amazing book! It's mid 18th century so the pace is slower but the content more than makes up for it! This is a book about culture clash, and those stuck in the middle. (Something I am very interested in) I would especialy recommend the short story 'The Highland Widow', and 'The Two Drovers'. Little gems of story.
