L'impact de la Révolution française sur l'Ecosse n'a pas été aussi étudié que celui qu'elle a eu sur l'Angleterre et l'Irlande. Cet article s'attache à évoquer les travaux récents à présent disponibles sur le radicalisme et le loyalisme écossais, sur la réponse des autorités écossaises à la Révolution française, sur les poursuites contre les radicaux, et sur la contribution financière et militaire de l'Ecosse à la guerre contre la France en révolution.
