Research Themes
If there are any areas of research that you feel should be discussed, please contact the panel at medieval@socantscot.org or alternatively, use the discussion thread on the Forum. The panel held a workshop in March 2010 to discuss their draft report, and many thanks to all those who attended and contributed. The panel next meet in August, ahead of producing the final draft of the panel report.
