A Legend of Montrose is a historical novel written by Sir Walter Scott. The story is set in Scotland during the 17th century, during the time of the civil war between the Royalists and the Covenanters. The protagonist of the novel is Allan M'Aulay, a Highland chieftain who is loyal to the Royalist cause. He is sent on a mission to Montrose, where he meets the legendary Montrose, the leader of the Royalist army. Montrose is a charismatic and brilliant leader, but he is also haunted by his past and his own personal demons. As M'Aulay becomes more involved in the war, he must navigate the complicated politics and allegiances of the time, and he must also confront his own personal demons. The novel is a gripping tale of war, loyalty, and personal redemption, and it is considered one of Scott's most important works.Notwithstanding the proverbial epicurism of the English, --proverbial, that is to say, in Scotland at the period, --the English visitors made no figure whatever at the entertainment, compared with the portentous voracity of Captain Dalgetty, although that gallant soldier had already displayed much steadiness and pertinacity in his attack upon the lighter refreshment set before them at their entrance, by way of forlorn hope.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
