Illustrating how ideas of Scotland as a nation and a place of belonging have changed significantly over the past one thousand years, these poems are either entitled "Scotland" or focus centrally on the issue of nation and place. The Gaelic poets, the Scottish Renaissance, and modern poets including Edwin Morgan, Norman MacCaig, and Liz Lochhead illustrate the astonishing variety of responses to the idea of nationhood.
