This blog is run and updated by students of the School of Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh. We aim to use this blog to keep people updated as to what is happening at the School (musical events, conferences, research seminars etc) as well as to raise awareness of all the great things we do here.
Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about us (you can view the full article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_of_Scottish_Studies):
“The School of Scottish Studies was founded in 1951, and is affiliated to the University of Edinburgh. It holds an archive of over 9000 field recordings of traditional music, song and other lore, housed in George Square, Edinburgh. The collection was begun by Calum Maclean – brother of the poet, Sorley MacLean – and the poet, writer and folklorist, Hamish Henderson.”
We are very proud of our rich heritage and resources here at the School but we are also always looking forward to improve and develop on the great things we already have – hopefully this blog will help those of you who are also interested in or connected with the School to keep abreast of what’s going on!
