The Renaissance in Scotland was a cultural,intellectual and artistic movement in Scotland,from the late fifteenth century to the beginning of the seventeenth century. It is associated with the pan-European Renaissance that is usually regarded as beginning in Italy in the late fourteenth century and reaching northern Europe as a Northern Renaissance in the fifteenth century. It involved an attempt to revive the principles of the classical era,including humanism,a spirit of scholarly enquiry,scepticism,and concepts of balance and proportion. Since the twentieth century,the uniqueness and unity of the Renaissance has been challenged by historians,but significant changes in Scotland can be seen to have taken place in education,intellectual life,literature,art,architecture,music,science and politics.
Literature in early modern Scotland is literature written in Scotland or by Scottish writers between the Renaissance in the early sixteenth century and the beginnings of the Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution in mid-eighteenth century. By the beginning of this era Gaelic had been in geographical decline for three centuries and had begun to be a second-class language,confined to the Highlands and Islands,but the traditions of Bard poetry in the Classical Gaelic literary language continued to survive. Middle Scots became the language of both the nobility and the majority population. The establishment of a printing press in 1507 made it easier to disseminate Scottish literature and was probably aimed at bolstering Scottish national identity.
