The Scottish Renaissance

The Scottish Renaissance was a cultural revival in Scotland during the early to mid-20th century, focusing on rediscovering and modernizing Scottish history, literature, art, and language. It aimed to celebrate Scotland’s unique identity and heritage while blending traditional Scottish themes with contemporary ideas. Influential figures like poets, writers, and artists sought to foster national pride and cultural self-awareness. This movement helped revive interest in Scotland’s past while promoting new artistic expressions, ultimately shaping modern Scottish cultural and national identity.
