Literary tourists' performances in tourist destinations are conducive to strengthening the image of tourist destinations and promoting the development of local tourism industries. Based on a study of literary tourists' performance behaviours in the 'Kingdom of Scott', this paper constructs a model of tourism performance hierarchy according to the degree of tourists' participation in the performance, and creatively proposes three different levels of participation: perceptual, immersive and creative. The study concludes that the 'other-alienated' kingdom constructed by Scott provides spiritual and psychic comfort to the masses fleeing alienation, highlights Scotland's unique nationality and promotes the awakening of national consciousness. In addition, the literary tourists' performances in the Scottish kingdom help to bridge the psychic distance between authors and tourists, reorganize the experience space of literary footsteps. Besides, this also reinforces the tourism image of the Scottish Highlands, contributing to the development of Scottish tourism and, to a certain extent, to the construction of human communities.
