Description
"The Fair Maid of Perth; Or, St. Valentine's Day" by Walter Scott is a novel published in 1828. Set in Perth, Scotland around 1400, it follows armourer Henry Gow who interrupts the Duke of Rothesay's attempted abduction of Catharine Glover, a glovemaker's daughter. This Valentine's Day kiss draws Henry into dangerous royal intrigue and a deadly Highland feud, culminating in a historic clan battle. Scott weaves romance, political conspiracy, and medieval warfare into a tale where personal loyalty collides with the violent power struggles of medieval Scotland.
