About

No-one has been as famous as Walter Scott and become as forgotten. He was so popular that, if you could read in the early 19th Century, you had read Scott. And yet nowadays nobody reads him. Nor do we really respect him. Literary editor and author Stuart Kelly reads from his new book "Scott-land" which deals with the man who invented a nation. By parts witty and touching, Stuart Kelly will have you rushing out the door to brush up your Ivanhoe or revisit the classic Old Mortality.
