| Abstract | This interdisciplinary panel focuses upon Scotland in Europe. It examines how continental influences shaped Scottish practices, particularly in the realm of visual culture, and how the internal dynamics of Scottish politics influenced relations with other polities. Historiography has firmly established the attempts of the Stewart kings to be ‘players on the European stage’ but this panel goes further, by examining in detail the nature of Scottish elite culture, which was both cosmopolitan and unique. By discussing European interactions in art, architecture, trade, diplomacy and the ceremonies of kingship, queenship and parliament, these papers will highlight a distinctively Scottish approach to each. |
