The greatest period of intellectual ferment north of the border - the Scottish Enlightenment, personified by such luminaries as David Hume and Adam Smith - came in the first hundred years after the Act of Union of 1707. As the Queen prepares to open the new Scottish Parliament,
David Walker explores the relationship between ideas and political conditions and finds a striking contemporary resonance in the rich legacy of this period. Producer Simon Coates
