There are a number of works of art featuring Scott, his characters, settings, family members and pets in UK collections, which says a lot about how popular he once was. It's interesting to see how representations of Scott vary from dour to almost twinkly.

There will be a spectacular light show tonight (Saturday 20th March) to launch the international celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the life and works of Sir Walter Scott.
The broadcast will feature well-known Scott enthusiasts, including Outlander author Diana Gabaldon. There will also be the world premiere of a brand-new short film of the Young Scott, created by artist and director, Andy McGregor, which will be projected onto the 15th-century tower. The tower is next door to the farm where Scott lived as a boy, and his early experiences here continued to inspire him throughout his life.
