Part of a series of lectures by academics in the Centre for Scottish and Celtic Studies at the University of Glasgow addressing the question of Scotland’s historic Britishness from different disciplinary perspectives. University of Glasgow 2 Centre for Scottish and Celtic Studies Professor Dauvit Broun, Chair of Scottish History, examines some of the ways in which medieval Scots engaged with the concept of Britishness. He argues that Britishness was not uniform, and that medieval Scots were able to identify with and express distinctive forms of Britishness which emphasised separateness from other parts of the British Isles.

By doing so, they transcended national boundaries without expressing discontentment with the British state.

Professor Driscoll emphasises how difficult it is to ascribe Scottishness to archaeological finds, but notes how they have been packaged as Scottish in modern times. Dr Campbell looks at the varied origin myths of the Scottish nation, noting that identity was fluid in the early medieval period. He also asserts that Scotland was culturally conversant with other parts of Europe in this period, and only peripheral in a strictly geographical sense.

He argues that such diversity should be embraced instead of the pursuit of an inflexible ‘essence’ of Scottish or British identity.
