Statuary in Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, two of the great figures of the Scottish Enlightenment. David Hume and Adam Smith. They were contemporaries and good friends, the eminent empiricist and the intellectual father of capitalism. (Wonderful book about the two of them, https://tinyurl.com/u48zhjkj.) My sympathies run more toward the former but their impact cannot be understated. Scotland is justifiably proud.
