Excerpt from A Critical Inquiry Into the Scottish Language: With the View of Illustrating the Rise and Progress of Civilisation in Scotland
The close political and social ties that bound Scotland to France form a very striking feature in the history of both countries, especially in that of the former. The Ancient League, traditionally dating from the days of King Achaius and the Emperor Charlemagne, became in the fourteenth century an undoubted fact, when both countries had a common interest in resisting the ambition of the Plantagenet kings. The frequent royal alliances, the steady intercourse, and the consequent mutual change of ideas between the two kingdoms during the Stuart era, could not fail to leave recognizable marks upon both nations. On Scotland, as the more backward of the two countries, French influence made a deep impression.
