His name and image are everywhere - from Bank of Scotland fivers to the bizarre monument in Edinburgh's city centre. Scott-land presumes that the reader will have only a hazy awareness of Sir Walter Scott, and, although Stuart Kelly will offer insights into Scott's works and biography, this is emphatically not a conventional literary biography, nor is it a critical study. Partly a surreptitious autobiography - Stuart Kelly was born near Abbotsford - his examination of Scott's legacy and character come to change his own thoughts on writing, reviewing, being Scottish, and being human.

Stuart Kelly's biography of Sir Walter Scott defies classification in terms of genre. Rather than a literary biography or critical study it is a personal examination of the sometimes overwhelming affect Scott has had on Scottish identity at large and on how his legacy affects the very act of writing in Scotland.
