Scottish romanticism

Scottish romanticism was a cultural movement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries that emphasized emotion, nature, and individuality, often drawing inspiration from Scotland’s rich landscapes, folklore, and history. It celebrated the unique Scottish identity through literature, art, and philosophy. Key figures included poets like Robert Burns and Walter Scott, who explored themes of nationalism, the sublime beauty of the Highlands, and the complexities of human experience. This movement sought to evoke feelings and connect with the past, influencing not only Scottish culture but also the broader romantic movement across Europe.
