Scotland small? is a poem by Hugh MacDiarmid.<\/p>\n

In the poem MacDiarmid explains how people who see Scotland as small or uninteresting are not looking hard enough:<\/p>\n

Scotland small? Our multiform, our infinite Scotland small?
\nOnly as a patch of hillside may be a clich\u00e9 corner
\nTo a fool who cries \u2018Nothing but heather!\u2019 where in September another
\nSitting there and resting and gazing around
\nSees not only the heather but blueberries…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can read the whole poem at ‘Scotland small?’ Scottish Poetry Library<\/a><\/p>\n

The Biggies have created pages about some of the Scottish wild flowers mentioned in the poem:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
