After his death he was a source of inspiration to the founders of liberalism and socialism and today he is a cultural icon not just in Scotland. His work is taught in many countries such as Russia and Canada. He is regarded as one of the greatest Scots and known for world-famous songs such as Auld Lang Syne and the world-famous poem 'A Red, Red Rose' and 'Tam o' Shanter'.
The Xenophobe's Guide to the Scots
"Innate instincts""A Scotsman likes to feel that, almost by instinct, he could guddle a trout (palm it out of the water) or gralloch a deer (disembowel it with his knife), even if he spends his day driving a bus or designing software.""""A kilty cover-up""If the Scots were to shed their seriousness, they would be noisier than the Neapolitans and wilder than the dancing Dervishes. Their reserve is not a defense against the rest of the world: it is a protective cover, like the lid of a nuclear reactor.""""Rob joy""Calvinism is still deeply ingrained in the Scottish soul. A Scottish poet, overcome by the joy of sunshine and blue sky, once cried out what a fine day it was. The woman to whom he spoke replied, We'll pay for it, we'll pay for it. """"Cunning and clever""The Scots respect cleverness and like to feel that they possess plenty of it themselves. In Scotland there is nothing wrong with being clever, so long as you show it by words or actions, rather than by bragging. You don't have to hide it. To say of someone that he has a good conceit of himself is neither praise nor blame, just a statement of fact.""

Det rätta och det goda publicerades 1930 och utgör ett centralt bidrag till den moderna moralfilosofin. Den skotske filosofen David Ross skriver i inledningen till sin bok att syftet är att utforska naturen hos, relationerna mellan och implikationerna av etikens fundamentala begrepp, närmare bestämt ”rätt” och ”gott”. Och än i dag, nästan 100 år senare, har den som tar moralfilosofi på allvar hjälp av hans noggranna diskussion. Förutom att Ross gediget analyserar de centrala begreppen argumenterar han för en lista över det som faktiskt är gott och önskvärt i sig, som dygd, kunskap och njutning. Dessutom klargör han vad det innebär att handlingar är riktiga, vad som faktiskt gör handlingar riktiga, och vilka våra centrala plikter är. Få böcker i moralfilosofi innehåller så mycket som denna moderna klassiker. David Ross (1877–1971) var professor filosofi i Oxford, ledamot i British Academy och översättare och redaktör för Aristoteles samlade verk.

The 2000-plus years of Scottish history have seen a huge variety of events, from great national moments to personal achievements, each one helping to make and mould the character of the nation. This compendium takes note of the milestones – historical as well as cultural, serious as well as entertaining – but also of the many steps between them. Carefully chosen and researched for their interest and variety, they make a fascinating record: 150 vignettes form a 'family album' of the Scottish people from the Romans in Scotland in the first century CE to climate change in the 2020s. And everything in between.

Surnames give us a sense of identity and belonging. Even in today's mobile society they can have strong links with particular areas. They are keys to our family history. And they always have an original meaning. This new collection of some 400 names, gathered from Shetland to Galloway, provides an informative and reliable guide to Scottish surnames from Abercrombie and Abernethy to Younie and Yuill. In each case the original meaning is given, along with the original location and its first recorded appearance. Historical details of particular interest are also noted. Scottish Surnames informs, entertains and may even settle (or start) some arguments. It's an essential item for any Scottish-interest bookshelf.
