Castle Dangerous is the realisation of a thirty-year old project of
Scott's to retell a story found in Barbour's Brus. Set in the early
fourteenth century during the Scottish Wars of Independence, an
English knight for a love wager commits himself to defend Douglas
Castle against Scottish attempts to retake it. The ballad-like
story embraces intriguing elements including national rivalry, and
the idealisation and betrayal of love. The Douglas area, seen as an
almost surrealist landscape of ravines, trenches, and tombs, and in
abysmal weather, forms an appropriate setting for an impressively
bleak narrative.
