Set in the Scottish Highlands near Loch Katrine, the poem follows Ellen Douglas through a story of romance, refuge, and rising conflict, and it helped fuel Victorian fascination with Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"441\" data-end=\"826\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThis pocket-sized volume is especially appealing for display, with its red Victorian cloth binding, blind-stamped decoration, and gilt urn vignette on the cover.

The gilt decoration on the spine remains present, softened slightly but still legible and attractive. Interior pages show light toning and scattered foxing typical of mid-19th century paper stock, nothing unusual and nothing that impedes reading. The steel engraved frontispiece is intact. The two ownership inscriptions on the front endpaper are clear and period-appropriate. The book displays very well overall and would be a presentable addition to any shelf of Scottish literature or Victorian poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51077787484438,"sku":"AMD-02732","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Drews_Books_3.3-3531.jpg?v=1772658059","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/scott-lady-lake-1858","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
