Jonathan Oldbuck
Jonathan Oldbuck is a man of many interests, but his greatest passion is for antiquities. He is a brilliant scholar and collector, and his house, Monkbarns, is filled with all manner of ancient artifacts. Oldbuck is also a bit of a eccentric, and his obsession with the past sometimes leads him to neglect the present. He is also a bit of a misogynist, due to a disappointment in an early love affair. Despite his flaws, Oldbuck is a lovable character, and he is one of Sir Walter Scott's finest creations.
