Summary "The Country of Sir Walter Scott" by Charles S. Olcott is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The book explores the landscapes and regions that inspired the works of the famed Scottish author Sir Walter Scott, detailing the author's journeys through Scotland and parts of England and Wales. Through a series of illustrations and personal reflections, Olcott imbues the narrative with a sense of appreciation for the places that shaped Scott's literary genius. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for a journey into the "Scott Country," as Olcott recounts embarking on this exploration with his wife. Their adventure begins in Gilsland, where Scott first encountered the beauty of life that influenced his writing. The author describes their careful preparations, including revisiting Scott's novels and mapping out locations tied to his works. As the narrative unfolds, Olcott expresses his desire to not only capture the scenery through photographs but also to delve deeper into the spirit of Scott’s writing and the landscapes that inspired him.
