Maida (1816-1824[1]) sometimes called a deerhound, was a crossbreed from a Pyrenean shepherd and a Scottish greyhound,(Landseer's painting of Maida and a Deerhound), belonging to Sir Walter Scott,[2] and reported to be his favourite dog. Named after the Battle of Maida, which took place in 1806, he was a gift from Alexander Macdonell of Glengarry,[1] a friend of Scott, and whose brother led the 78th Highlanders in the battle, a victory for the British against the French in the Napoleonic Wars. Scott wrote to his son Charles that "Old Maida died suddenly in his straw last week, after a good supper, which, considering his weak state, was rather a deliverance; he is buried below his monument, on which the following epitaph is engraved in Latin [Maidae marmorea dormis sub imagine Maida / Ante fores domini sit tibi terra levis],[3] thus Englished by an eminent hand : - 'Beneath the sculptured form which late you bore, Sleep soundly Maida at your master's door.'"[4] The monument mentioned is a statue of the dog at the hall door of Scott's home, Abbotsford House.[4] A statue of Scott at the Scott Monument in Edinburgh includes Maida gazing up at the seated figure.[5] William Allan painted "Sir Walter Scott with His Dog 'Maida'" in 1831.[6] Alexander Nasmyth painted the dog alone.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://images.is.ed.ac.uk/luna/servlet/detail/UoEwal~1~1~58738~100394:Sir-Walter-s-Scott-s-Great-Hound,-M |title=Sir Walter's [sic] Scott's Great Hound, Maida |publisher=University of Edinburgh |accessdate=28 November 2014}} {{Walter Scott}}2. ^Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.cityofliterature.com/a-to-z/sir-walter-scotts-dog-maida-edinburgh-literary-animals/ |title=Sir Walter Scott's dog, Maida |publisher=Edinburgh City of Literature |accessdate=28 November 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|title=Abbotsford and Sir Walter Scott|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2m1oguT8WX0C&pg=PA218&lpg=PA218&dq=Sir+Walter+Scott+Abbotsford+Maida&source=bl&ots=73NEk7hAHN&sig=UlIriBk_cmY7V7lY2H2rY7f3wt4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=adN4VNqzHIGzogSznILwDQ&ved=0CDoQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=Sir%20Walter%20Scott%20Abbotsford%20Maida&f=false|year=1854|publisher=Mabbott and Co.|page=218|accessdate=28 November 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.edinburghmuseums.org.uk/Venues/Scott-Monument/About |title=Scott Monument: About |publisher=Edinburgh Museums and Galleries |accessdate=28 November 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/sir-walter-scott-in-his-study-with-his-dog-maida-208588 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924144343/http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/sir-walter-scott-in-his-study-with-his-dog-maida-208588 |dead-url=yes |archive-date=24 September 2015 |title=BBC - Your Paintings - Sir Walter Scott in His Study with His Dog 'Maida' |publisher=BBC |accessdate=28 November 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20487/lot/1/ |title=Alexander Nasmyth (Edinburgh 1758-1840) Maida, Sir Walter Scott's Dog 22 x 27 cm.
