Abbotsford
circa 1900: The residence of Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832) at Abbotsford. Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh and qualified there as a lawyer in 1792. Popular success as a writer came with The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border (1802-3), an edition of ballads, and The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805), a narrative poem. He is perhaps best remembered for his novels which include Waverley (1814), Rob Roy (1817) and Ivanhoe (1820). In 1811 he built a country seat at Abbotsford near Galashiels. Scott had many debts from an unfortunate business venture but refused to declare himself bankrupt and continued to publish his writing to try and recover his money. His output was varied, ranging from novel-writing and poetry to history and biography. Scott died shortly after returning from a tour of the Mediterranean and the rights of his work were sold to cover his losses. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
