One of Sir Walter Scott's finer novels and still popular thanks to the operatic repertoire that repeatedly performs Lucia di Lammermoor. Scott was very ill while writing this book and almost destroyed it when finished. Happily he changed his mind A must read for a Scott fan.
Lammermuir Hills is also the title of a Scottish Country dance. Unfortunately most Scottish Country dancers ignore the inspiration for the titles.. This dance was created by one of the more talented choreographers. Scottish dancers miss a great deal by passing through the countryside and history of Lammermuir without enjoying the scenery. https://www.scottish-country-dancing-dictionary.com/video/lammermuir-hills.html

I like the dance and keep it in the repertoire of our dance group. Guess it's time to read the book.
