Why do more than 20,000 people attend the Schotse Weekend bagpipe competition in Bilzen, Flanders? Why does an entire village in the Italian Alps celebrate a lost Scottish regiment? And why is there a Highland Games circuit of at least 30 kilted strength competitions in Austria, with dedicated athletes tossing hay-balls and pulling tractors?This is the first study of the self-professed 'Scots' of Europe. It follows the many thousands of Europeans who are determined to discover their inner Scotsman, and argues that by imitating the Scots of popular imagination, the self-styled European Highlanders hope to reconnect with their own ancestors - their lost songs, traditions and tribes. They approach Scotland as a site of European memory.This book explores issues of performance and celebration, memory and nostalgia, heritage and identity, and will be of interest to specialists on Scottish emigration and diaspora, Scottish history and myth, and to the 'Scots' of Europe themselves. 606 $aSchotten$2gnd$3(DE-588)4270093-0 606 $aKulturelle Identita?t$2gnd$3(DE-588)4033542-2 606 $aBrauchtum$2gnd$3(DE-588)4008017-1 606 $aScots$zEurope$xEthnic identity 606 $aScots$zEurope$xSocial life and customs 606 $aScots$zEurope$xHistory 607 $aEuropa$2gnd 607 $aScotland$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 610 $aAmerican popular culture. 610 $aBritish Empire. 610 $aEuropean Romanticism. 610 $aHighland regiments. 610 $aHighlandism. 610 $aHollywood films. 610 $aScottish dreams. 610 $aathletes. 610 $acommemorators. 610 $aepic poetry. 610 $ahistorical re-enactors. 610 $amusic hall entertainment. 610 $amusicians. 610 $aromance novels. 610 $atwenty-first-century Scottish play-acting. 615 7$aSchotten. 615 7$aKulturelle Identita?t. 615 7$aBrauchtum. 615 0$aScots$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aScots$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aScots$xHistory. 676 $a941.1 700 $aHesse$b David$01539920 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797712903321 996 $aWarrior dreams$93791124 997 $aUNINA
