Walter Scott

Description

Andrew Marr believes that if you really want to get to the heart of this great battle for Scottish identity in Britain, you have to turn to the greatest writers that came from north of the border: James Boswell, Sir Walter Scott and Hugh MacDiarmid. Across three turbulent centuries, these writers were to shape the way the world looked at Scotland - for good and for ill - and so Andrew looks at the lives of these men who were so pivotal in shaping Scotland's character. This film looks back at these creative geniuses to answer the crucial question - what image of Scotland will the nation choose for itself this time?
