| Summary | "Vanha tarina Montrosesta" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book set during the tumultuous 17th century in Britain, explores the political and military conflicts in Scotland amidst civil strife. The narrative promises to center around figures like the young nobleman Menteith and the seasoned mercenary Dalgetty, who navigate the complexities of loyalty during a time of war. At the start of the novel, the scene unfolds against the backdrop of Scotland during a period marked by significant conflict and divisions among its inhabitants regarding their political allegiances. The opening introduces the historical context of the clan-based struggles in Scotland and the tensions brewing over support for King Charles against the Parliamentarians. Young Menteith rides through the picturesque yet dangerous landscape, discussing the uncertain loyalties of Scottish leaders with his companions. Soon, they encounter a mysterious armed figure, prompting a dialogue about allegiances, thereby setting the stage for the conflicts that will emerge as they decide whom to support amidst the chaos of war.
