The Pirate is Walter Scott’s historical novel set in 17th-century Shetland and Orkney, centred on a shipwreck, piracy, family conflict, and rival love interests. It’s typically presented as a three set novel. In this edition, volume 25 is the second part of “The Pirate”, and the work continues across the surrounding other two volumes in the set. The story follows the Troil family and a shipwrecked captain Cleveland along with Mordaunt, whose relationships with Minna and Brenda Troil drive much of the plot. As Cleveland’s pirate identity is revealed, the novel shifts into rescue, capture, and reconciliation, ending with the pirates subdued and the family ties resettled. The novel itself is commonly divided into three volumes or parts in standard editions, and the Waverley Novels collected edition spreads it across multiple numbered volumes.warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, waverley novels vol 46 tales of my landlord, sir walter scott, pattison collection, warrnambool library, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library

A central thread is Roland’s divided loyalties, his attraction to both the Catholic and Protestant worlds, and his involvement in helping Mary’s cause. The climax comes with Mary’s attempted escape from Lochleven, the fighting that follows, and her eventual loss of power in Scotland. warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, waverley novels vol 46 tales of my landlord, sir walter scott, pattison collection, warrnambool library, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library
