Environment, Ecology, Climate and ‘Nature’ in 21st Century Scottish Literature

The article provides an investigation and an interpretation of recent trends in Scottish literature and culture in the framework of Scotland's and global responses to the environmental question. Eco-spatial co-ordinates demand a range of territories, perspectives and scales: local/national/(bio)regional/‘global’/‘planetary’. They may also imply a critical repurposing; a transgressing and transcending of conventional ‘Scottish’ boundaries, temporalities, places and objects of focus—e.g. ‘nation’; ‘landscape’; ‘community’; ‘resource’—for a more environmentally and ecologically bound perspective.
