Many of his works remain classics of both English-language and Scottish literature. Although primarily remembered for his extensive literary works and his political engagement, Scott was an advocate, judge and legal administrator by profession, and throughout his career combined his writing and editing work with his daily occupation as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire. Scott was a member of the Highland Society and served as President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1820–32).

The following lists his areas of endeavour in chronological order:
