Allan Ramsay

    Allan Ramsay bol škótsky básnik a literárna osobnosť raného osvietenstva. Svoju kariéru začal ako výrobca parochne, ale jeho vášeň pre literatúru ho priviedla k písaniu poézie a k zakladaniu literárnych spolkov. Ramsay je najviac cenený pre svoje zbierky škótskej piesňovej a veršovej tvorby, ktoré zohrali kľúčovú úlohu v zachovaní škótskeho literárneho dedičstva. Jeho diela prepájali stredovekých a novovekých škótskych autorov a inšpirovali budúcich zberateľov ľudovej slovesnosti.
