I started to think that Kant read Hume, but not much enough to grasp all of scottish philosophy.

Like, I'm pretty sure Kant read just an Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding.
I think Kant didn't read Treatise of Human Nature.
He just skipped Hume's naturalism, and he really ignored big subjects like Thomas Reid.

Kant doesn't have enough biography, perhaps because he's lived such a boring life

Kant's transcendental argument is described in the SEP as
>that X is a necessary condition for the possibility of Y—where then, given that Y is the case, it logically follows that X must be the case too.
which is precisely what Hume notes in the treatise. His big innovation over Hume was the overhaul of Humes idea-impressions account of the mind, which ended up as irrelevant as every other faculty-based account of the mind.

Home hated Scotland and everything to do with Scotland. Despite never venturing outside of Edinburgh for any lengthy time he paid the modern equivalent of thousands of pounds to Adam Smith to try to learn the Southern English accent.

The Treatise hadn't been translated into German when Kant was alive.
