Scottish characters in literature and other imaginative works
Disbanded by John Pettie was used to illustrate the 1893 edition of Waverley by Sir Walter Scott. The novel is set in the Jacobite uprising of 1745 and the picture shows a returning Highland warrior.[1]
This is a list of Scottish characters from fiction.
Authors of romantic fiction have been influential in creating the popular image of Scots as kilted Highlanders, noted for their military prowess, bagpipes, rustic kailyard and doomed Jacobitism. Sir Walter Scott's Waverley novels were especially influential as they were widely read and highly praised in the 19th century. The author organised the pageantry for the visit of King George IV to Scotland which started the vogue for tartanry and Victorian Balmoralism which did much to create the modern Scottish national identity.[2][3]
