The Lindsay-Fischer lectureship was founded in 1980 in honour of Ian Gordon Lindsay (1906-66) and his friend Gerhard Fischer (1890-1977), both for their work on the historic architecture of Scotland and Norway respectively and for their achievement in promoting cordial relations between Scottish and Norwegian Scholars.  The lectures are hosted by the Society in Scotland and the Fortidsminneforeningen in Norway (the National Trust of Norway).

This year Professor Margrethe Stang of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology will present the Lindsay-Fischer lecture entitled “Medieval painted wooden vaults in Norwegian parish churches”.
