The Waverley Gazette

This summer the National Museum of Scotland presents a new exhibition examining how "the cultural traditions of the highlands had become fixed as a representation of wider Scottish identity and shows how this romanticised ideal of Scotland was not purely invention, as cultural traditions were preserved, idealised and reshaped to suit contemporary tastes against a background of political agendas, economic and social change from the end of the Jacobite challenges to the reign of Queen Victoria."

Wild and Majestic: Romantic Visions of Scotland is supported by Baillie Gifford Investment Managers and runs from 26 June to 10 November.
