Tales of my Landlord is a series of novels by Sir Walter Scott that form a subset of the Waverley Novels. Of these novels, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor have been the most successful and Old Mortality is considered by modern critics to be among Scott''s best work.

This is gone into in great depth in the introduction to The Black Dwarf. They were supposed to reflect aspects of Scottish regional life.
