Here in the nation’s capital, Scottish history is taught by a strong and distinguished team, comprising seven core academic staff members, plus a number of postdoctoral fellows and associated staff.

Members of staff have published extensively on topics including Scottish politics in all periods, medieval saints’ cults, the Reformation and religious change, the witch hunt, Scotland’s external relations, the Highlands, the Scottish Enlightenment, culture and society in modern Scotland.
