Saint Andrew: Scotland's Myth and Identity

Saint Andrew: Scotland's Myth and Identity

by Michael Turnbull (Author)

Synopsis

This work aims to bring the story of Scotland's patron saint, Saint Andrew, up to date, incorporating the opinions of some of Scotland's most influential figures as well as worldwide reports from the many Scots who celebrate Saint Andrew's Day abroad. Saint Andrew and the familiar Saltire have contributed much to the culture and identity of the Scottish nation over the centuries. As expressions of commercial and intellectual dynamism, communication and networking skills, they have encouraged Scots to develop closer ties with Europe. This book argues that not only are the Saint and the Saltire mechanisms of reconciliation for the diverse strands of Scottish life and culture, they also offer a potent opportunity for concerted commercial activities in the future.
