Abstract

The Scottish practice of travelling to be educated in the professions profoundly influenced the development of the early Scottish Enlightenment. Understanding the connection that Scots had with the Continent is essential when studying their intellectual world in the early years of the enlightened era. The Netherlands was a centre of radical ideas and of publishing and some Scots, including Areskine, continued on from there to Germany and Italy to further enhance their social and academic experience. When they returned to Scotland, it was with new ideas, key texts, and a network of international contacts in the Republic of Letters. Their programmes of lectures abroad depended upon the use of set textbooks, and these became the cornerstones of the libraries they would go on to collect throughout their lives, accompanying them in legal practice throughout their careers.
