Day 24 - Saturday 22nd July
Selkirk - Sir Walter Scott's Court
Weather: Cloudy and then drizzly
This Museum was right next door to the Halliwell Museum -
It was staffed by Julian Colton who gave me a most entertaining introduction to Walter Scott's contribution to Scottish culture - Julian Colton lives in Selkirk, edits The Eildon Tree literary magazine and contributes articles and reviews. His five collections of poetry include, most recently,Two Che Guevaras (Scottish Borders Council) and Everyman Street (Smokestack Publishing).
The court room was full of people, including Sir Walter Scott himself. I nearly said, :Excuse me!", when I realised that they were not real -
