| Summary | "Rob Roy — Volume 02" by Sir Walter Scott is a historical novel set in the early 19th century. This volume continues the captivating tale of Francis Osbaldistone, who is deeply entangled in the political and economic strife of Scotland, particularly revolving around his family’s business and the enigmatic figure of Rob Roy MacGregor. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, love, and the tumultuous impacts of political intrigue during a time of significant national tensions. The opening of this volume depicts Francis's emotional turmoil as he grapples with the dual distress of his feelings for Miss Vernon and his father’s precarious financial situation. Determined to prevent a disastrous outcome for his father, he resolves to travel to Glasgow, where he hopes to find assistance from his old friend Owen. Along the way, he encounters his guide Andrew Fairservice, whose comical yet shrewd nature adds levity to the journey. This section sets a tone of foreboding as it hints at the dangers that await Francis, including encounters with treachery and suspicion as he navigates through Scotland’s lawless landscapes to secure his family's safety.
