Count down to my Scottish research trip has begun! Very excited to be visiting the #nationallibraryofscotland in a couple of weeks to get eyes on #earlymodernwomens #manuscripts and a few other treasures.

Woohoo! Another advantage of coming thro' to Edinburgh for my #IASH fellowship is that I can visit #NationalLibraryOfScotland any time, rather than making a dedicated trek when I need to see something. :)
