He is proud to count himself a gentleman and to claim descent from such celebrities Of the Border as Auld Watt of Harden and the Flower Of Yarrow. It was their son William who was fain to wed Meikle mouthed Meg. From this lady, whose story Browning has revived for us in a Characteristic poem, Sir Walter perhaps got a prominent feature Of his physiognomy. It is remarkable. That two of these Scotts of Harden were, like their descendant, lame, and, spite the fact, did very well in the world, just as he did. Not to dwell upon ancestry, we need merely at present further mention Scott's Jacobite great-grandfather (another Walter), who not only fought for the Stewart cause, but let his beard grow unshorn out of regret for its failure. Beardie 'must have been an ancestor after the author of Waverley's own heart. He quarrelled with his second son (walter's grandfather) because he would not go to sea, and the young man revenged himself terribly by becoming a Whig. This Robert Scott did well for himself in the cattle trade, having laid the foundations of his fortune by a lucky speculation with a hunter. He rode well to hounds, and was prominent in all field sports, wearing usually a jockey-cap over his grey hair.
