Getting acquainted with the Magician of the North

Walter Scott's house at Abbotsford in the Scottish borders is a marvellous place to visit, and tells you everything you need to know about the man.

Being within touching distance of Edinburgh, its well on the tourist circuit and best combined with a visit to nearby Melrose Abbey, from whose gargoyles Scott borrowed large parts of his innovative Scottish baronial style decoration - example below:

Even the best writers are not plutocrats: the house is not a huge place and in his latter days Scott was in financial difficulties, but it is crammed full with objects of interest, as you might expect of someone who was such a key influence on the Victorians. Scott was an inveterate and, it seems, indiscriminate, collector of historical artefacts - large items include a full set of armour from the battle of Bosworth:

There is a full armoury, complete with a portrait of King James IV of Scotland:

A small cabinet of curiosities includes (I kid you not): Napoleon's blotter, a Mary Queen of Scots's crucifix, a Charles I memorial ring, a medieval Ave Maria charm brooch, Flora Macdonald's purse and a lock of Bonny Prince Charlie's hair. Oh and something belonging to Byron which I didn't manage to take a picture of.

In the interior decoration it is often impossible to be sure which are the genuine old items, and which copies, all blended into a seamless architectural gallimaufry:

I've read a couple of Scott's books now: Old Mortality and Tales of a Grandfather and am now enjoying Heart of Midlothian. Scott is so knowledgeable that to read his novels you'd think he was a historian. But what Scott is above all an entertainer: what he really likes is a great incident or story, which he recklessly adapts from a totally unrelated context, in order to make his tale more exciting. What you read is not history but the greatest of historical fiction.
