Those fascinating Scots

I think perhaps we do ourselves a disservice  by overlooking the Scots.  I purchased "America's Founding Secret- What the Scottish Enlightenment Taught our Founding Fathers" by Robert W, Galvin. That the Scottish influences the US may not be a surprise to anyone.   We know the Scottish David Hume as a philosopher who was in favor of the Americans developing democracy, but not the French Revolution and their efforts to have a democracy.  We know Irish and Scottish immigrants came to the US, but how aware are we of the Scots men who made Alexander the Great, great?  Here we are decades later, the Russians and Americans face each other off like two feuding clans.
