An Introduction to the Scottish Enlightenment

by George Harris

The Scottish Enlightenment was one of the most important cultural movements ever to take place in Britain. The new ideas of Thomas Reid, David Hume, Adam Smith and a host of others transformed Scotland, Europe and the world.

This booklet provides a brief introduction - brief but full of fascinating information and ideas. Every visitor to Scotland will find the pleasure of their visit is enhanced by the material here that recreates some of the atmosphere of Scotland in the eighteenth century, in the days when the country was " a hotbed of genius".
