Scottish History Network Weekly Digest

22 April – 1 May 2016

Welcome to the Scottish History Network Digest. As always, we’ve tried to include as much information as possible about news, events and opportunities relating to Scottish history.

If we have missed anything, or you have something you’d like us to include in the future, please get in touch at scottishhistorynetwork@gmail.com, on Twitter @ScotHistNetwork or via our Facebook page.

Our inaugural event, ‘Scottish History: A Public Future?‘ is fast approaching. It is shaping up to be an interesting and lively discussion of where Scottish History is heading as a field, and we hope that many of you will be able to join us.
