About this listen
Rob Roy is a captivating novel of chivalry and romance set in the Scottish Highlands of the 18th century.
After rejecting the life his father has laid out for him, Frank Osbaldistone is sent to the North of England to live with his Uncle, where he is to repent his sins. However, when his father's wealth and reputation are threatened, he is drawn to the Scottish Highlands, where he must retrieve a set of stolen documents. It is here that he is pulled into a number of skirmishes relating to the Jacobite uprising of 1715, and where his path frequently crosses with the mysterious maverick outlaw known as Rob Roy....
Scott's portrayal of Scotland is remarkable in its vivid and evocative panorama of the highlands, and his insightful exploration of social, economic, and historic themes.

The story is a fast paced adventure with a curious and not overly likable central character Frank Osbaldeston (not Rob Roy) in fact I began to think I had the wrong book as Rob Roy does not officialy arrive on the scene until over half way through the story. Glad I've read it, hard going at times wlthrough some of the scottish dialect sections but reasonably enjoyable.
Enjoyable but unexpected

Listen carefully to Scott's words for his account hints honestly at the mood of Scotland over the Union in the early 1700s... and shows us the seed from which today's strong, white flower of Scottish Independece blooms.
Awesome story, impeccably read
