Abbotsford and Newstead Abbey - Abbotsford Part Two

from The Washington Irving Library · host Washington Irving

In which the gentle humour and affectionate nature of Sir Walter Scott are revealed through his interactions with his faithful dogs and devoted dependents, as we wander together amidst the storied hills and streams of the Scottish Border, steeped in the tender melodies of ancient song. The conversation leads us to appreciate the subtle beauties of the landscape, the enduring charm of national airs, and the simple, wholesome upbringing of Scott’s own children, all touched by the spirit of remembrances and rustic lore.
