Makars' Court
Makars' Court is a courtyard next to the Scottish Writers' Museum in central Edinburgh, Scotland. The Court forms part of Lady Stair's Close, which connects the Royal Mile with The Mound to the north. Described as an "evolving national literary monument",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Makar's Court )〕 the courtyard incorporates quotations from Scottish literature inscribed onto paving slabs. The quotations represent works in the languages used by Scots past and present: Gaelic, Scots, English and Latin.
The Scots language term ''makar'' denotes an author or writer,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Makar, Makkar )〕 though stressing their role as a "skilled and versatile worker in the craft of writing."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Edinburgh's Makars )〕 Since 2002 the city of Edinburgh has appointed its own official Makar.〔
In 1997, twelve Scottish writers were selected by the Saltire Society, and quotations from their works were inscribed on stone slabs installed in the area adjacent to the museum. The first was unveiled by Ronald Harwood, then President of International PEN, and the rest by poet Iain Crichton Smith. Further inscriptions continue to be added to the Court.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=17 December 2011 )〕
