This is a work in progress and so, by its very nature, incomplete. If you'd like to help, please see the Contributor's Guide.

Note that inclusion in this list is not in and of itself a recommendation that a work is reliable or useful. Since the goal is to list all works that discuss premodern Scottish women, regardless of quality, some of the works below will be outdated, poorly researched, or unreliable in some way. (This is why annotation is needed — please consider contributing!)
