Many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and Scottish literature. Notable titles include Lady Of the Lake (a narrative poem) and the novels of Waverley, Old Mortality (or The Tale of Old Mortality), Rob Roy, Heart of Mid-Lothian, Bride of Lammermoor, and Ivanhoe. Although primarily remembered for his extensive literary work and political activism, Scott was a lawyer, judge and legal administrator by profession, and throughout his career combined his writing and editing work with his day-to-day work as session secretary and Sheriff's Deputy of Selkirkshire. A well-known member of the Tory establishment in Edinburgh, Scott was an active member of the Highland Society, served for a long time as president of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1820-1832) and was vice-president of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (1827-1829). Scott's knowledge of history, and his subject with literary technique, made him a fundamental figure in the creation of the genre of historical novel, as well as a model of European literary romanticism. It was created by the Baronet of Abbotsford in Roxburgh, Scotland, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 22 April 1820, whose name became extinct after the death of his son the 2nd Baronet in 1847. Walter Scott was born on 15 August 1771, in an apartment on the third floor of Wynd College in Edinburgh's Old Town, a narrow alley leading from Cowgate to the gates of Edinburgh University (Old College). He was the ninth child (six died in infancy) walter Scott (1729-1799), a member of the cadet department of the Scott clan and a writer for The Seagnet, his wife Anne Rutherford, sister of Daniel Rutherford and a descendant of the Swinton clan and the Haliburton family (the descent from which Walter's family granted Walter's family a hereditary burial right in Dmyg Abbey). Walter was thus a cousin of the real estate developer James Burton (d.1837), born Haliburton, and his son, the architect Decimus Burton. Walter later became a member of the Clarence Club, of which the Burtons were a member. Scott's childhood in Sandyknowes, in the shadow of Smailholm Tower, introduced him to the tales and folklore of the Scott family's Scottish home in George Square, Edinburgh, from around 1778 he survived a childhood polio attack in 1773, which left him lame to cure his limp, he was In 1773 live in the rural Scottish Border on his paternal grandparents' farm in Sandyknowe, near the ruins of Smailholm Tower, formerly the family home. Here he was taught to read by his aunt Jenny Scott, and learned from her speech patterns and many tales and legends that later characterized most of his work. In January 1775 he returned to Edinburgh, and this summer went with his aunt Jenny to take a spa treatment in Bath in Somerset, in the south of England, where they lived on 6 South Parade. In the winter of 1776 he returned to Sandiou, where the following summer he tried to cure the water in Prestonpan. In 1778 Scott returned to Edinburgh for a private education to prepare him for school, and joined his family in their new home, one of the first built in George Square. In October 1779 he began working at the Royal High School in Edinburgh (at Yard High School). By then he was able to walk and explore the city and the surrounding countryside. His reading included chivalrous romances, poems, history and travel books. He received private training from James Mitchell in arithmetic and writing, and learned from him the history of the Church of Scotland with a focus on the Covenant. In 1783, his parents, believing that he had outgrown his strength, sent him to stay for six months with his aunt Jenny in Kelso in the Scottish Borders: there he studied at Kelso Grammar School, where he met James Ballantine and his brother John, who later became his business partners and seals. In November 1783, at the age of 12, a year younger than most of her classmates, Career, meeting with Blacklock and Burns Scott, began studying classics at the University of Edinburgh. In March 1786, at the age of 15, he began an apprenticeship in his father's office to become a writer at Signet. At school and university, Scott became a friend of Adam Ferguson, whose father Professor Adam Ferguson hosted literary salons. Scott met the blind poet Thomas Blacklock, who lent him books and introduced him to the Ossian series of James McPherson's poems. In the winter of 1786-1787, 15-year-old Scott met the Scottish poet Robert Burns in one of these salons, where their only meeting took place. When Burns noticed an imprint illustrating the poem Judge of the World and asked who wrote it, Scott only named the author John Langhorne, and was thanked by Burns. Scott describes this event in his memoirs, where he whispers a response to his friend Adam, who tells Burns; Another version of the event is described in Literary Origins. When it was decided that he would become a lawyer, he returned to university to study law, first taking classes in moral philosophy (under Dugald Stewart) and Universal History (under Alexander Fraser Titler) in 1789-90. During that second spell at the university, Scott played a prominent role intellectual activity of students: he co-founded the Literary Society in 1789, and the following year was elected to the Speculative Society, becoming librarian and secretary-treasurer the following year. After graduating from law school, he became a lawyer in Edinburgh. As a solicitor clerk, he made his first visit to the Scottish Highlands, directing the eviction. He was admitted to the Faculty of Advocates in 1792. He had a bad love affair with Williamina Belshes of Fettercairn, who married Scott's friend Sir William Forbes, the 7th Baronet. In February 1797, under the threat of a French invasion, Scott joined the Royal Edinburgh Volunteer Light Dragoon, with whom he served in the early 1800s, and was appointed quartermaster and secretary. This year's daily drilling methods, starting at 5 a.m., provide an insight into the determination with which this role has been undertaken. Beginning of a literary career, marriage and family copy of Mistralsy Scott, at the National Museum of Scotland Scott was invited to embark on his literary career enthusiastically in Edinburgh during the 1790s for contemporary German literature. Recalling that period in 1827, Scott said he was German-mad. In 1796, he published English versions of two poems by Gottfried August Burger, Der Wilde Jaeger and Lenore, publishing them as Chase and William and Helen.
