The Lady of the Lake is a narrative poem by Sir Walter Scott, first published in 1810.
The poem has three main plots: the contest among three men, Roderick Dhu, James Fitz-James, and Malcolm Graeme, to win the love of Ellen Douglas; the feud and reconciliation of King James V of Scotland and James Douglas; and a war between the lowland Scots (led by James V) and the highla.
Set in the Trossachs region of Scotland, it is composed of six cantos, each of which concerns the action of a single day.
