Redgauntlet 

Read by John Nicol

John Nichol was born and bred in Scott country and has played the part of Sir Walter many times. He has written and acted several court cases that were presided over by Scott whilst he was Shirra in Selkirk. In 2001, he performed Wandering Willie's Tale at the Edinburgh Fringe with the Rowan Tree Theatre company. It has remained his favourite story from the pen of Sir Walter. It's a rich mix of history, comedy, fascinating characters and supernatural doings..
