Tales of a Scottish Grandfather is a series of books on the history of Scotland, written by Sir Walkter Scott, who originally intended it for his then 10-year-old grandson. The books were published in the 19th century, at a time when the study of Scottish history focused mainly on cultural traditions. Therefore, in Scott’s books, while the timeline of events is accurate, many anecdotes are either folk stories or inventions.
