Sir Walter Scott is one of Scotland's most celebrated novelists. He was born in Edinburgh in 1771, but spent much of his early childhood with relatives in the borders convalescing after a bout of polio. He returned to Edinburgh to attend the High School and eventually to study law at the University. His first novel, Waverley, was not published until 1814. Scott went on to release a large number of mostly historical novels until his death in 1832.
