'1814 Year of Waverley' by Christopher Harvie is in the Clan Scotland series, a series about Scottish culture and history with an accompanying online resource, and is aimed partly at young people. It tries to show people a 'way into' Scott, and to show how the themes of 'Waverley' are still relevant today. Also has lots of information about Scott's cultural context and influence. An excellent book: I learned a lot.
