It makes one place on a map more than simply in a different location to another place on a map. Scotland is no exception to this. From our tartans and traditions, to our writing, music, languages and so much more, the culture that has come to define Scotland has become known around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCringe no more\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 1707 Act of Union that took away Scotland's independence, Scots have been taught to dislike, dismiss, or even flat out deny their culture. Known as the Scottish Cringe, this in-built censor manifests in all sorts of ways, often around words such as 'twee' and 'parochial'. Bringing a sense of worth back to Scots through a focus on their Scottish culture is my main aims in creating this art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotland is a country at the north west edge of Europe.

The tartan tam and shawl are items of dress known the world over as Scottish. In addition, the spirit holds Scotland's national flower, the thistle, and is merged into the Saltire, Scotland's flag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper size A4, 210x297mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e350gsm smooth white board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted in Scotland on FSC® Mixed Sources paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stewart Bremner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56519353991554,"sku":"A4-SBC14b","price":5.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/0985\/products\/14b-lo.jpg?v=1570062748","url":"https:\/\/stewartbremnerprints.com\/products\/spirit-of-scotland-a4-poster","provider":"Stewart Bremner Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
