The Plot from WIKI
The story is set in the early 18th century in the Liddesdale hills of the Scottish borders, familiar to Scott from his The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border ballads. The main character is based on the life of David Ritchie, who Scott met in the fall of 1797. In the tale, the dwarf is Sir Edward Mauley, regarded by the locals as being in league with the Devil, embroiled in a complex tale of love, revenge, betrayal, Jacobite schemes and a threatened forced marriage.
