In the world of literature, Scotland packs a punch well above its diminutive weight.
Its national poet, Robert Burns, is known and celebrated all over the world, his
works translated into dozens of languages. Walter Scott and Robert Louis
Stevenson are almost as widely read, as are contemporary novelists such as Ian
Rankin and Iain Banks.
The Writers' Museum in Edinburgh
celebrates the work of Burns, Scott and Stevenson.
Scot-
tish artists are less well known, but have carved out a niche within the British art
world.
