Scotland Editorial Review

Scott-Land by Stuart Kelly is a cultural guide to Scotland and an ode to Sir Walter Scott, the region's most famous son. Kelly examines how Scott's writings invented the idea of "Scotland" and shows where Scott's influence can be found in statues, monuments, street names, and road signs. The book also contains Scott's biography and discussions on his significance as a writer. The writing is described as funny, wise, and learned. The author's exploration of Scott's influence is at times critical and bittersweet. The book is recommended for those who are willing to explore Scotland with rose-tinted glasses and those who are interested in the Great Unknown of British literature. Overall, the book is well-received by readers, with some commenting on its interesting and complete overview of Scott's life and work. One review notes a delay in delivery but found the book to be in perfect condition upon arrival. Another review comments on Kelly's humorous and sometimes cutting criticisms of modern-day Scotland. However, the book is primarily focused on Sir Walter Scott, so readers who are not interested in Scott or romanticized views of Scotland may not find it appealing.
