July 7 in Scottish History
On this day in 1814 the novel 'Waverley', by Sir Walter Scott, was published. Waverley was Scott's first novel, and written mainly as a way of proving himself a superior literary talent to Byron. Although it was published anonymously as a safety net against its failure, it was an open secret who the author was. Scott needn't have worried: the book was a runaway success and Scott became regarded as the leading author in Europe.On 7 July 1307 King Edward I of England died on his last punitive expedition to Scotland at Burgh-on-Sands, near Carlisle. The epitaph to him in Westminster Abbey, London, reads "Edwardus Primus Scotorum Malleus hic est." - "Edward the First, hammer of the Scots." His successor, Edward II, was to prove less successful in dealing with Scotland.
