Description

St. Ronan's Well by Walter Scott

Set in Scotland, at the beginning of the 19th century, Scott's story turns its back upon the wars waging on the world's stage and presents a regency comedy of humours. Meg Dodd, a sentimental virago, keeps a run-down inn in a derelict Tweedale village while the young Laird is living way beyond his means. When a nearby mineral spring becomes a spa, life changes, as a post-office, a hotel and a troop of social climbers move in. In a climate of tantrums, black humour, theatricals, gaming and duels, the plot unfolds.
