His literary works include the poem The Lady of the Lake and the novels Waverley and Ivanhoe. Originally published in two volumes in 1814–17, this one-volume reissue is a work of non-fiction that illuminates Border history as revealed through architecture and artefacts. Scott was not the sole author, but his substantial introduction sets the historical scene for the entries on various castles, churches and other historic structures on both sides of the border. Illustrative extracts of his poetry are also included, along with many detailed engravings of the evocative scenes and buildings described.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eVolume 1: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Morpeth Castle\u003cbr\u003e Castle at Newcastle\u003cbr\u003e Warkworth Castle\u003cbr\u003e Warkworth Hermitage\u003cbr\u003e Carlisle Cathedral\u003cbr\u003e Carlisle Castle\u003cbr\u003e Lanercost Priory\u003cbr\u003e Bothwell Castle, Northumberland\u003cbr\u003e Bamborough Castle\u003cbr\u003e Wetherall Priory\u003cbr\u003e Tynemouth Priory\u003cbr\u003e Jedburgh Abbey\u003cbr\u003e Newark Castle\u003cbr\u003e Bothwell Castle, Clydesdale\u003cbr\u003e Mitford Castle and Church\u003cbr\u003e Holyrood Abbey\u003cbr\u003e Naworth Castle\u003cbr\u003e Prudhoe Castle\u003cbr\u003e Kelso Abbey\u003cbr\u003e Melrose Abbey\u003cbr\u003e Hales Castle\u003cbr\u003e Yanwath Hall\u003cbr\u003e Branksome Castle\u003cbr\u003e The Tower of Goldieland\u003cbr\u003e Dunbar Castle\u003cbr\u003e Hexham Abbey\u003cbr\u003e Thirlwall Castle\u003cbr\u003e Bywell Castle\u003cbr\u003e Scaleby Castle\u003cbr\u003e Aspatria Church\u003cbr\u003e Wark Castle\u003cbr\u003e Hawthornden\u003cbr\u003e Monument at Bew Castle.
