For example, are you referring to:
* Sir Walter Scott: He wrote historical novels set primarily in Scotland, particularly during the medieval and Renaissance periods. Some examples include *Ivanhoe* (medieval England), *The Heart of Midlothian* (18th-century Edinburgh), and *Rob Roy* (18th-century Highlands).
* F. Scott Fitzgerald: His works are often set in the Jazz Age, particularly in the American Northeast, especially Long Island, New York, and the Midwest. Notable examples include *The Great Gatsby* (Long Island), *Tender Is the Night* (French Riviera), and *This Side of Paradise* (Princeton, New Jersey).
* Other Scott authors or people: There are many others, and specifying the "Scott" you have in mind would help provide a better answer.
