Weir of Hermiston (1973)

Synopsis of Weir of Hermiston

The four-part British miniseries Weir of Hermiston was based on Robert Louis Stevenson's posthumously published novel of the same name. Set in Scotland during the Napoleonic Wars, the story focused on a French POW's escape from Edinburgh Castle. Stevenson died before completing the novel, thus the final chapters were penned by literary critic Arthur Quiller-Couch in 1897. This TV adaptation adheres to the Stevenson/Quiller-Couch original, with a few interesting re-interpretations of its own, courtesy of telewriter Tom Wright. Weir of Hermiston first aired in 1973. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
