A Legend of Montrose

 2020 was a year for reading books that would expand my understanding of 17th century Scotland.  I chose to start 2021 with another Sir Walter Scott Novel set in the same time period with Montrose in the center.  I thoroughly enjoyed the narrative describing the battle where The Great Montrose faced Argyll.  I also enjoyed Annot Lyle as a female thread throughout the novel.  A Legend of Montrose is one of the shorter novels and not as well received as its predecessor, The Bride of Lammermoor.  However, I do recommend reading this novel.
