Few of us have any idea as to the impact this little nation has upon our lives as we view the world today. The 18th and 19th centuries in Scotland were filled with intellectual energy, which expanded in a number of directions. Let's accept it: many of the technologies and techniques which we take for granted were fathered and grew up in Scotland.
Course participants will receive in the first two sessions an introduction to Scotland as an early nation, and the historical aspects which led to The Scottish Enlightenment. The other sessions will explore the creativity of the Scots and why it seems to be a nation always on the cusp of change. Class participation and the presentation of a short report on selected topics from the course syllabus will be encouraged but are not mandatory. Active discussions will take place.
Whether you have Scottish genes or not, Georgie and Jeannie will show you how the Scots did invent the modern world.
Class is limited to 20 members.
