Abstract
Considers Scottish interwar views of Walter Scott, focussing on the criticism of Hugh MacDiarmid, Edwin Muir, and Neil M. Gunn and biographies of Donald Carswell and John Buchan. Concludes that except for Buchan, Scott had become the symbol of a previous North British identity which had to be rejected if contemporary national and personal aspirations were to be fulfilled. As such, the European dimension of scott's work was overlooked, despite the connections which might have been made with Scottish Renaissance objectives.
