Research interests

My research is primarily about developing a new approach to the scribes and codicology of medieval cartulary manuscripts. A book on this topic was published Boydell & Brewer in 2020: Reading and Shaping Medieval Cartularies: Multi-Scribe Manuscripts and their Patterns of Growth. I have since been working on other related areas of this research, including place-names in cartulary manuscripts, 19th-century antiquarian editions, cataloguing cartularies, and the implications for charter-text survival in medieval Scotland.

From 2020-21, I was a Co-Investigator on the AHRC/IRC-funded network, A Digital Framework for the Medieval Gaelic World. The network focuses on the impact of digitisation on research into medieval Ireland and Scotland, and hopes to achieve a better understanding of how we currently use digital resources in research.

From 2018 to 2019, I was the Principal Investigator of a Royal Society of Edinburgh-funded project, Researching and Curating Active Manuscripts: Scotland’s Medieval Cartularies. This was a collaboration with the National Records of Scotland and National Library of Scotland, and looked at the current challenges and opportunities for curating and researching medieval cartulary manuscripts.

From 2014 to 2017, I was part of an AHRC-funded project, Models of Authority: Scottish Charters and the Emergence of Government, 1100–1250. The project’s main outcome was a digital research tool for the study of the contents, script and physical appearance of Scottish charters.

I am currently co-leader of BGE@UniversityofGlasgow (with Prof. Dauvit Broun and Lynne Robertson, Education Scotland). This brings together academics from the College of Arts and school teachers to create new resources based on recent research for use in Broad General Education in the Curriculum for Excellence (the school curriculum for nursery to S3). The scheme has been running since 2014, and has so far produced 14 resources.

I am a Co-Director of the University of Glasgow's Textual Editing Lab (launched January 2019) with Prof. Bryony Randall (English Literature) and Dr Alison Wiggins (English Language & Linguistics). The Lab aims to connect researchers, archivists, digital developers, artists, professionals and students engaged with textual editing challenges and opportunities, and to share good scholarly practice and encourage innovation and collaboration.
