The town of Veere forms the setting for "[[Van Loon's Lives]]", a book of [[contemporary fantasy]] written by [[Hendrik Willem Van Loon]] in 1942, in which the protagonists are able to magically summon the great men and women of history for weekend dinner parties, leading to often humorous incidents. The book was written at the time when Veere, like the rest of the Netherlands, lay under Nazi occupation, and despite its light-hearted tone clearly indicates the longing of the writer – living in the US – for his homeland whose liberation he was doomed never to see.

Scottish singer-songwriter [[Brian McNeill]] based the song "The Holland Trade" from his tenth studio album ''The Baltic tae Byzantium'' on the trade and cultural ties between Veere and Scotland from 1541 on.
