Influence on Scottish historiography
Teulet visited
Scotland in the late 1830s, making contact with David Laing, secretary of the
Bannatyne Club, which subsequently published his five-volume
Papiers d'État, Pièces et Documents Inédits ou Peu Connus Relatifs à l'Histoire de l'Écosse au XVIe Siècle, tirés des Bibliothèques et des Archives de France (1851–60). The Scottish historian John Hill Burton reviewed the work favourably and drew upon it in writing his seven volume
History of Scotland from Agricola's Invasion to the Revolution (1867–70)
