George Buchanan si erge come figura di spicco dell'umanesimo scozzese rinascimentale, celebrato per i suoi profondi contributi intellettuali e la sua maestria nella lingua latina. La sua scrittura, lungi dall'essere una mera imitazione, possiede una freschezza ed elasticità uniche, evidenti nelle sue acclamate traduzioni e tragedie originali. Oltre ai suoi successi letterari, Buchanan scrisse un trattato politico fondamentale che sosteneva la sovranità popolare, una dottrina che sfidava il diritto divino dei re. La sua completa Storia di Scozia rimane un'opera significativa, in particolare per la sua vivida descrizione dei periodi da lui personalmente vissuti.
