      abstract = {This lively and erudite cultural history of Scotland, from  the Jacobite defeat of 1745 to the death of an icon, Sir  Walter Scott, in 1832, examines how Scottish identity was  experienced and represented in novel ways. Weaving together  previously unpublished archival materials, visual and  material culture, dress and textile history, Viccy Coltman  re-evaluates the standard clichés and essentialist  interpretations which still inhibit Scottish cultural  history during this period of British and imperial  expansion. The book incorporates familiar landmarks in  Scottish history, such as the visit of George IV to  Edinburgh in August 1822, with microhistories of  individuals, including George Steuart, a London-based  architect, and the East India Company servant, Claud  Alexander. It thus highlights recurrent themes within a  range of historical disciplines, and by confronting the  broader questions of Scotland's relations with the rest of  the British state it makes a necessary contribution to  contemporary concerns.},
