Dr. Catriona MacDonald
Funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, this project involves Catriona Macdonald in extensive research relating to the evolution of Scottish History since the death of Sir Walter Scott. Researching UK, Scottish and local groups and a diverse range of historians and historical novelists, Macdonald will reassess the Romantic legacy, probe the impact of ‘scientific methods’ on the historical community and develop new ways of looking at the professionalization of historical studies in Scotland.
