Heart of Mid-Lothian

It has been almost 200 years since Scott published this highly readable novel based on a true story about a young lady who walked from Edinburgh to London to save her sister's life.  As usual many musical plays were produced including an 1819 production featuring music by Henry Rowley Bishop.  Operatic creations included Jeanie deans by Hamish MacCunn which was broadcast on BBC in 1968.

I really enjoyed this book! I would love to see a musical or opera based on it.
