Abstract
Although Beethoven never visited Scotland, he had three main connections with the country: his numerous settings of Scottish melodies; his reading of literature about Scotland, especially by Walter Scott; and his correspondence with George Thomson of Edinburgh. From these three sources he learned much about the country and its music.
