In the spring of 1829, the then 20-year-old Mendelssohn travelled to the British Isles for the first time. After a series of successful concert performances in London, he travelled to Scotland in July, accompanied by his friend Karl Klingemann, to visit sites commemorating Mary Stuart, the northern Highlands and the Hebrides. Mendelssohn was immediately drawn to the sombre nature of the country. He expressed his impressions musically in the Overture The Hebrides and in the 3rd Symphony. In Edinburgh, where he visited Holyrood Palace, he notated a piano version of the Andante and sketched out ideas for its orchestration. The ruins of the chapel at Holyrood Palace seem to have inspired him directly. In a letter he wrote:

"In the deep twilight we went today to the palace where Queen Mary lived and loved. [...] The chapel next to it is now missing its roof. Grass and ivy grow in it a lot, and Mary was crowned Queen of Scots at the broken altar. Everything is broken, rotten and the clear sky shines in. I think I found the beginning of my Scottish Symphony there today." (Source: Carl Dalhaus: Das Problem Mendelssohn (= Studien zur Musikgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Band 41)

Despite this, the work took him the longest of all his symphonies: he did not complete it until 20 January 1842, thirteen years later.

Symphony No. 3 in A minor op. 56 (MWV N 18) by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is a romantic symphony in four movements. The performance time is approximately 40 minutes. Although Mendelssohn himself never authorised this name, it is usually referred to as the "Scottish Symphony".

【古典音樂小站】門德爾松：第三交響曲「蘇格蘭」- 第二樂章 活潑的行板。這美麗的樂章是由Musopen交響樂團演奏的。它擁有創用CC授權（PDM 1.0 DEED，公眾領域標記1.0通用）並通過www.musopen.org提供。

1829年春，當時20歲的門德爾松首次前往英倫三島。在倫敦連串成功的音樂會演出後，他於7月與朋友卡爾·克林格曼一同前往蘇格蘭，參訪紀念瑪麗·斯圖亞特的地點、北高地和赫布里底群島。孟德爾頌立即被這個國家的陰鬱自然所吸引。他在《赫布里底序曲》和第三交響曲中表達了他的音樂印象。在愛丁堡，他參觀了聖克魯宮，並記下了行板的鋼琴版，並為其配器勾勒出了想法。聖克魯宮的教堂廢墟似乎直接激發了他的靈感。他在一封信中寫道：

“在深色的暮光中，我們今天去了瑪麗女王生活和愛過的宮殿。[...] 它旁邊的教堂現在已經沒有屋頂了。草和常春藤在裡面長得很多，在破碎的祭壇上，瑪麗被加冕為蘇格蘭女王。一切都破碎、腐朽，而清澈的天空照耀進來。我想我今天在那裡找到了我的蘇格蘭交響曲的開始。”（來源：卡爾·達爾豪斯：《門德爾松的問題》（=《19世紀音樂史研究》第41卷））

儘管如此，這部作品的完成耗時最長，比他所有的交響曲都要長：直到1842年1月20日，13年後，他才完成。

費利克斯·門德爾松·巴托爾迪的A小調第三交響曲作品56（MWV N 18）是一部浪漫主義四樂章交響曲。演奏時間約為40分鐘。雖然門德爾松本人從未授權這個名稱，但它通常被稱為“蘇格蘭交響曲”。
