there's something poetic about a culture of honor rooted in such a beautiful landscape and most of the time they're presented almost as an anachronism.

Because there’s only one of them

>there's something poetic about a culture of honor

Because they're extinct.

Scotland went into the union with England willingly because they were financially fucked and the only way to get out of that hole was to pair with the English.

It's their culture and roots same reason why Mexicans romanticize pancho vía and just completely ignore the fact that he butchered villages to get the attention of the U.S government or the fact that he conscripted poor farmers at gun point

the dramatic landscape, poetic culture, and yeh what other people have said ITT. In this day and age I would say that outside of scotland (honestly for all I know barely anyone there cares anymore), the only romanticisng of highlanders is taking place by americans claiming 1/68 scottish ancestry who don't actually know anything about scottish history and highland culture anyway.
