Life in the UK Test 33
Which of the following poets wrote poems inspired by Scotland and the traditional stories and songs from the area on the borders of Scotland and England?
Correct Answer: Sir Walter Scott
Sir Walter Scott wrote poetry and novels inspired by Scotland and the traditional songs and stories of the Scottish Borders — the region straddling the boundary between Scotland and England. His narrative poems, such as The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805) and Marmion (1808), drew heavily on Border ballads and folklore.
Scott later became equally famous as a novelist, with works such as Waverley and Ivanhoe. He played a major role in popularising Scottish culture and history.
