- Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (15 August 1771 – 21 September 1832), was a Scottish historian, novelist, poet, and playwright. Many of his works remain classics of European and Scottish literature, notably the novels Ivanhoe (1819), Rob Roy (1817), Waverley (1814), Old Mortality (1816), The Heart of Mid-Lothian (1818), and The Bride of Lammermoor (1819), along with the narrative poems Marmion (1808) and The Lady of the Lake (1810). He had a major impact on European and American literature.
As an advocate, judge, and legal administrator by profession, he combined writing and editing with his daily work as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire. He was prominent in Edinburgh's Tory establishment, active in the Highland Society, long a president of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1820–1832), and a vice president of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (1827–1829). His knowledge of history and literary facility equipped him to establish the historical novel genre as an exemplar of European Romanticism. He became a baronet of Abbotsford in the County of Roxburgh, Scotland, on 22 April 1820; the title became extinct on his son's death in 1847.

Robert McGregor fue un héroe escocés del siglo XVIII. Sus problemas económicos, que lo fuerzan a pedir dinero prestado al Marqués de Montrose, y un cúmulo de adversidades lo convierten en un proscrito al que sólo el amor de su mujer le dará fuerzas para enfrentarse a todo.
la figura del generoso bandido Rob Roy (el proscrito James Mc Gregor), que da su nombre a la novela y que es un personaje de fondo histórico, no ocupa el primer plano; el hé¬roe romántico es un inglés, y cuenta en primera persona sus propias aventuras bas¬tante confusas y poco convincentes: Francis Osbaldistone, hijo de un rico comerciante de Londres, es mandado por su padre, cuya profesión se ha negado a seguir, a Osbal¬distone Hall, al norte de Inglaterra, a casa de su tío sir Hildebrand Osbaldistone, gran cazador de zorros y gran bebedor. Allá encuentra a los rústicos hijos y a la nieta de Hildebrand, Diana Vernon, doncella de elevados sentimientos. Uno de los hijos, el bribón Rashleigh, que ha ocupado el pues¬to de Francis en la casa londinense, cons¬pira con los jacobitas y tiene siniestros propósitos sobre Diana, a la que Francis ama.
Las tentativas de Rashleigh para qui¬tar de en medio a Francis y para arrui¬nar a su padre, fracasan gracias a Diana y a Rob Roy, que oportunamente inter¬viene como un «deus ex machina». En un momento dado, Rashleigh, encontrándose jefe de la casa, desaparece con el capital, y para evitar la ruina que amenaza a su padre, Francis, acompañado del divertido bailío Nicol Jarvie de Glasgow, se reúne con Rob Roy en los Highlands, asistiendo a un combate entre Rob Roy y las tropas inglesas, y a una milagrosa fuga del ban¬dido. Al fin, Rashleigh se ve obligado a restituir lo defraudado, y luego es muerto por Rob Roy por haber traicionado a sus amigos jacobitas. Francis reconquista el favor de su padre y se casa con Diana.… (más)
