His Tea-Table Miscellany is a foundational collection of Romantic song, and his play The Gentle Shepherd, first published in 1725, was reprinted more than one hundred times and was regularly performed around the world for nearly two centuries. He also founded Britain’s first circulating library; Edinburgh’s Academy of St Luke, Britain’s first Art School; and Scotland’s first permanent theatre.Ramsay’s impact on Scottish culture spans a variety of subject areas, including Drama, English, History, and Music.
