The Commonplace notebook popularity continued and many famous British authors and artists used them including Walter Scott, John Milton, Francis Bacon, E.M. Forster, W.H. Auden, Arthur Conan Doyle and Virginia Woolf. Today, in the age of the internet, the demand for high quality notebooks has never been stronger. More About Waverley: The Waverley publishing company in Glasgow, Scotland, takes its name from the 1814 historical novel by Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832). Waverley was Scott’s first venture into prose fiction and was published anonymously in 1814. It is regarded as one of the first historical novels in the western tradition. His series of works on similar themes written during the same period have become collectively known as The Waverley Novels. In 1810 Walter Scott’s poem “The Lady of the Lake” took the reading public by storm. It was soon translated and swept Europe and America. The poem played into the growing fashion for romantic, rugged scenery and tartan-clad Scottish heroes fighting battles amongst the heather. Had it not been for Sir Walter Scott, tartans and Highland Dress might well have remained solely as military attire. It was Scott who managed the royal visit to Edinburgh of King George IV in 1822. The kilt became converted from a garment for Highland Regiments and gentlemen living north of the border to the Scottish National Dress worn with pride by Scotsmen everywhere. Highland Dress immediately became fashionable and, like tartan, has scarcely been out of fashion since. This range is produced with the authority of Kinloch Anderson Scotland, who hold Royal Warrants of Appointment as Tailors and Kiltmakers to HM The King, Charles III.
