Especially tourist interest concentrates on these landmarks of Scotland, which are said to be insignias of Scottish tradition, glory and identity, and which dominate the image of Scotland.But are these landmarks really linked to a tradition from times immemorial Do they really represent a link to Scotland's Gaelic roots This paper will investigate this question by introducing Eric Hobsbawm s term of 'invented tradition' to denote and to outline the process of creation of these Scottish symbols. The following portrait of the historical background will show the social, political and economic developments in the 18th and 19th century which led to the invention of tradition as part of the creation of a Highland myth as a result of and as reaction to Scotland's union with England in 1707.
