Scotland:A、Land of Wisdom
In the 1740s, the famous French philosopher Voltaire said, "We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilization. " That’s not a bad advertisement for any country when it comes to attracting people to search for a first-class education.
According to theAmerican authorArthur Herman, the Scots invented the modern world itself.

It all started during the period that historians call the ScottishEnlightenment (启蒙运动), which is usually seen as taking place between the years 1740 and 1800.Before that, philosophy was mainly concerned with religion.
