Emblems in Scotland is an outstanding contribution to the study of a genre that scholars from multiple disciplines often find elusive. This superb achievement consolidates its author's standing in the field, while opening up some important new questions as to the valency of these enigmatic 'speaking pictures.' -Crawford Gribben, Queen's University Belfast, March 2020, Journal of the Northern Renaissance
