Wha’s Like Us – Scottishness, Scotland and Independence.
Exploring Scotland’s Cultural Heritage. How are song, poetry, folk memory, and knowing (or not knowing) our history influencing our sense of Scottishness and our campaign for independence?

This is a fascinating session from the recent Independence Forum Scotland conference, featuring historian Stuart McHardy and architect Roger Emmerson. Together, they explore Scotland’s rich cultural heritage and discuss the positive trajectory of Scottish identity and nationhood in the 21st century.
Both speakers are respected Scottish authors and leaders in their fields. Learn more about their work:
