The Scott Centenary Festival: places associated with [Sir Walter] Scott's Life and Works, 1871. Engravings of '...the interior of the hall and library at Abbotsford [Scott's home], and of the entrance gate; the window of Sir Walter's bed-room in that stately mansion, where he daily rose at an early hour to write the fresh thoughts that came into his mind with the morning; the town house, No. 39, Castle-street, Edinburgh, which he occupied five months in each year, when kept there by his official duties; the door of the old Edinburgh prison, or Tolbooth, called "The Heart of Mid-Lothian," which door was removed to Abbotsford when that building was demolished; the Palace of Holyrood and the Castle of Stirling, which were the scenes of many real events in Scottish history, made the subjects of his poems and romances; and the monument of Scott in the market-place of Selkirk, a town with which he was personally connected by holding the local office of Sheriff; Scott's study; the Library at Abbotsford; Entrance Hall, Abbotsford'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
