Much may be made of a Scotchman, if he be caught young. — Samuel Johnson · 1772The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees, is the high road that leads him to England! — Samuel Johnson · 1763In the highlands, in the country places,
Where the old plain men have rosy faces,
And the young fair maidens
Quiet eyes. — Robert Louis Stevenson · 1894My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,

My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go. — Robert Burns · 1789O Caledonia, stern and wild,
Meet nurse for a poetic child!

Land of the mountain and the flood. — Sir Walter Scott · 1805That knuckle-end of England—that land of Calvin, oat-cakes, and sulphur. — Sydney Smith · 1845Scottish highlands2 quotes
