Synopsis "Chronicles of the Canongate"
Chronicles of the Canongate is the first work of fiction to which Scott put his own name. Although the title page credits the Chronicles to the 'Author of Waverley', an autobiographical introduction is signed 'Walter Scott'. Comprised of two short stories 'The Highland Widow' and 'The Two Drovers' and a novella 'The Surgeon's Daughter', this is Scott's only collection of shorter fiction. Each story is set in the second half of the eighteenth century and deals with the exodus of Scots from their post-Union, post-Culloden homeland to seek fortune elsewhere. A linking narrative is provided by 'Chrystal Croftangry', a resident in the Canongate, Edinburgh, who writes up the tales from the recollections of his friends, Mrs Bethune Baliol and Miss Kate Fairscribe.
