Evelyn Edwards Instagram – I have a running joke that any ruin I really love has probably been painted or sketched by Turner. And what makes this hike even more amusing is I NEVER know that Turner had been to these properties until well after I have been there. You’d think I’d just look up all the ruins Turner painted and go there. But that wouldn’t be as fun would it? Smailholm Tower has another incredibly famous person associated with it as well: Sir Walter Scott. Scott apparently spent quite a bit of time here as a boy with his grandfather. Two of his works have Smailholm as the background setting. Because of Walter’s poetry of the Tower, his Uncle ended up restoring the tower in the 1800s to make it safe. William Turner actually visited Smailholm WITH Sir Walter Scott, and sketched the tower for Scott’s book “Poetical Works.” .
