My Centre for History colleague Dr Elizabeth Ritchie will be presenting on the issue of language in nineteenth century Gaelic schools at this Highland Theological College conference next Monday and Tuesday.

Another UHI Centre for History event coming up.

Very much looking forward to this #HistoryAtTheHeart lunchtime conversation with Jen Stout on Wednesday 11 September. Our discussion will touch on Shetland, Ukraine and many places between. Details of how to book to attend online can be found via the link: firthsandfjords.com/2024/04/24/mem…

Exciting, collaborative, inter-disciplinary SGSAH PhD studentship opportunity, led by my UHI Centre for History colleague, Dr Iain Robertson, partnering with UHI Archaeology Institute and Ceòlas Uibhist in South Uist.

Today marks the anniversary of the bloody clash that ensued on the 19th of April 1882 which became known as The Battle of The Braes and played a vital role in land reform in Scotland in the following decades. Check out our online exhibition for more:

While Fraser was, of course, fallible, I can vouch for this being a hugely revealing and compelling read. It's key to two book chapters and two articles of mine. A unique account by a Gaelic-speaker from the Highlands of a three-year tour through 1650s Europe. #CuriousCleric

A cataracts operation can be a life-changing experience for an elderly person. Thank you, NHS, who have provided them for two close family members of mine in recent weeks, just in time to see the spring buds and blossom.

First-class conference, showing the many angles from which environmental history can be approached, and linking work strongly to present crises and to policy. Inspired by the host of scientific and creative collaborations and the #PublicHistory potential. Sorry to miss Day Two.

Just one or two bits of kit involved in today's UHI Festival of Creativity presentation! Still inspired by Tristan Gooley 🌳 David Haskell Robert Macfarlane bringing the #CromartyFirth to life Music and the Environment UHI Applied Music UHI UHI_NWH

On my way to this conference in Stirling and I have this stuff, and its, at times, devastating part in the Little Ice Age, very much on my mind. #CoastalStudies #EarlyModern

Very enjoyable visit. The ARCH group have done some excellent, detailed research on aspects of Dornoch's past. #ThinkUHI

A vital element in Highland religious history is the variety of Protestant churches which have had congregations. But the Orange Order has not had a major presence. So, why alienate most people further, and cause major disruption, by marching on a Sat afternoon in Inverness?

The amazing Dr Dr Iain MacInnes was in the house for a thoroughly enjoyable research seminar divisional on medievalism in US comics in the 1950s! Thank you, Dr MacInnes, for your brilliant talk - it was wonderful to have you!

The countdown is on for our Environmental Histories of Scotland conference, just 11 days to go!🗓️

Speakers include David Worthington HeritageHanneke Calum M Ross Edward Stewart among many others!

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone here in Stirling

First visit to the new Perth Museum. Packed, but an impressive, engaging presentation. Great to see the acknowledgements for advice on content (as regards the Stone of Destiny exhibit) that was provided by two UHI expert scholars, Lucinda Dean and Prof Alex Sanmark. #ThinkUHI

The Scottish Diaspora Tapestry on location @ the Schotse Huizen in the old Scottish staple port of #Veere . Once a thriving Scottish community in the Netherlands & a Euro connection to remember

Excellent to have so many UHI Centre for History colleagues contributing to this.
