The Authors of this Web-site.
The authors of this web-site have come together as a crowd-sourced enterprise with the sole intention of promoting knowledge and understanding of the Early Church in Scotland. Although the primary focus is that part of Scotland north of the Mounth, this is not a definite boundary since it is impossible to isolate the ecclesiastical history of this part of our country from its parent Nation, let alone from the rest of Dark-Age and Medieval Europe.
The authors prefer, at least in the first instance, to maintain their anonymity. Their wish is simply to add to the archives of history, not to attain any personal gain.
What all the contributors have in common is a passion for the subject. They each have years of research behind them and a desire to add to the corpus of knowledge which is already available to others with similar interests.
Should you wish to know the details of a particular article's author then drop us a line, indicating your own particular interests. If the author in question is willing then we will send you a link.
Many of our authors are active Fellows of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. This is the premier Society in Scotland which is dedicated to the advancement of the antiquarian (and archaeological) study of the country's historical past. The Society was responsible for establishing what has become the National Museum of Scotland and it still has very close links with this world-famous establishment. Fellowship is open to anyone who shares a passion for Scotland - graduate and non-graduate, professional and amateur, old and young, Scottish or other nationality, living in Scotland or abroad. If you would like to become a Fellow- which allows you to use the post-nomial FSAScot after your name and to access the vast collection of records and resources owned by the Society - then follow the link above to the Society's web-pages. We would urge you to do this and join what is a very active community of Fellows from a great variety of backgrounds. The Society is particularly strong in the U.S.A. and Australia and attracts a great deal of interest from Canadians who have Scottish 'roots'.
