I’m interested in all things #earlymodern and I conduct research on church government, elections, the Scottish Parliament, covenanting, early Jacobitism & bound labour.

Since I’ve seen others doing intros, I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon.

I recently passed my PhD viva, defending a thesis on the #PrivyCouncil & Scottish govt 1689-1708, which fostered an unhealthy obsession with lord advocate James Stewart of Goodtrees! I also work on #earlymodern coal mining
