Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Scotland during the first Jacobite uprising, the story follows Francis Osbaldistine, who dreams of becoming a poet against his family's expectations. Sent to live with his uncle after refusing to join the family business, he soon finds himself cleaning up the mess caused by his unruly cousin Rashleigh. This leads him on a journey filled with misadventures, eccentric characters, and the chance for romance, all while exploring the rich social and cultural tapestry of the time. Sir Walter Scott's novel combines humor with historical insight, making it both entertaining and enlightening.
