Does anyone happen to have access to a digital copy of the Treasurer Accounts of Scotland Volume 12 (1566-1574)? 🙏🏼🤞🏼
I can only get up to Volume 10 AND the physical copy was missing in the library 😔
Was tempted to wander the floors looking to see who had it since it's reference only but I refrained

Very excited to share a stage with some amazing women @edbookfest.bsky.social

Rosemary Goring, Kate Anderson and I will be discussing Mary, Queen of Scots and James VI under the expert care of Anna Groundwater on 20 Aug

It's been a minute since I was here but I come with good news! Scottish Women Letter-Writers 1480-1625 has been awarded an AHRC Catalyst Grant 🎉

From October I'll start on a database AND digital edition of these amazing letters based with History at University of Glasgow 🥂🎊

Do you know I don't think there is a specifically Scots database (though someone should definitely do this) I'd point you in the direction of the amazing Beth Beattie a PhD researcher at Glasgow who is working on printed textual data in EMSco & Eng

First time speaking at Boswell and really looking forward to it! AND can you believe we are meant to have lovely weather too? 😊
