Iain Crichton Smith was one of the foremost poets of the 20th century, writing in English and Gaelic. His poetry often concerns itself with unsentimental views of life in the Western Highlands and Islands, and his dislike of, and opposition to, dogmatic authority. John Blackburn's SCOTNOTE study guide analyses the religious, political and historical themes and patterns of Crichton Smith's work, and is a suitable guide for senior school pupils and students at all levels.

Robert Henryson, along with his contemporary William Dunbar, is one of the most significant figures of medieval Scottish literature and is a distinctive voice in the fifteenth-century Northern Renaissance. His subtle use of language and careful balance of humour with high seriousness presents a picture of a vigourous and compassionate intellect, firmly rooted in his society and yet engaging with the wider world. Gerald Baird's SCOTNOTE study guide explores Henryson's major works - the Fables, The Testament of Cresseid, Orpheus and Euridice and Robene and Makyne - and provides detailed information for senior school pupils and students at all levels.

Boswell in Scotland and beyond (Occasional papers / Association for Scottish Literary Studies ; no. 12)

Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off is the best-known and most critically acclaimed of Liz Lochhead's plays. Dramatising the religious and political history of Scotland from a particularly female point of view, it remains popular with audiences and with the author herself, who sees the work as "a metaphor for the Scots today".  Margery Palmer McCulloch's SCOTNOTE study guide provides a background to the history and to the dramatic presentation, as well as giving an overview of the modern context of Lochhead's play, for senior school pupils and students at all levels.
