<p>From ‘How the Scots Invented the Modern World’, by Arthur Herman (2001):<br />
<br />
‘For this was the culturally and materially backward nation that forward-thinking Scotsmen worked to change.  In doing so, they would also change the world.  Before the eighteenth century was over, Scotland would generate the basic institutions, ideas, attitudes, and habits of mind that characterize the modern age.  Scotland and the Scots would go on to blaze a trail across the global landscape in both a literal and a figurative sense, and open a new era in human history.  In fact, the notional of “human history” is itself, as we shall see, a largely Scottish invention.’<br />
<br />
‘Fundamental to the Scottish notion of history is the idea of progress.  The Scots argued that societies, like individuals, grow and improve over time.  They acquire new skills, new attitudes, and a new understanding of what individuals can do and what they should be free to do.  The Scots would teach the world that one of the crucial ways we measure progress is by how far we have come from what we were before.  The present judges the past, not the other way around.’  <br />
<br />
‘The constant influx of information and of liberality from abroad, which was thus kept up in Scotland in consequence of the ancient habits and manners of the people, may help to account for the sudden burst of genius, which to a foreigner must seem have sprung up in this country by a sort of enchantment, soon after the Rebellion of 1745.’  - Dugald Stewart.</p>

<p>These two metal planters on Rose Street, in the New Town, have verse from the acclaimed Scottish poet Norman MacCaig incised into them. They are part of several different art pieces along the length of Rose Street showing works of different Scottish poets and makkars.</p>
