Along the way, Oldbuck becomes embroiled in various intrigues and adventures, including a kidnapping and a love triangle.

Scott's vivid descriptions of the Scottish countryside and his deep knowledge of history make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in Scottish literature or historical fiction.1906. Sir Walter Scott was a master of diverse talents. He was a man of letters, a dedicated historian and historiographer, a well-read translator of foreign texts, and a talented poet. Deriving most of his material from his native Scotland, its history and its legends, Scott invented and mastered what we know today as the historical novel. First published in 1816 in the aftermath of Waterloo, The Antiquary deals with the problem of how to understand the past in order to enable the future.
