Scottish Quotations from Sir Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott

Still from the sire the son shall hear
Of the stern strife, and carnage drear,
Of Flodden's fatal field,
Where shivered was fair Scotland's spear,
And broken was her shield!
Marmion (1808) canto 6, st. 34
Sir Walter Scott.

It's ill taking the breeks aff a wild Highlandman.
Sir Walter Scott, (1771 - 1832)
Scottish novelist. The Fair Maid of Perth, Ch. 5, 1828

O Caledonia! stern and wild,
Meet nurse for a poetic child!
Land of brown heath and shaggy wood,
Land of the mountain and the flood,
Land of my sires! what mortal hand
Can e'er untie the filial band,
That knits me to thy rugged strand!
- Sir Walter Scott
