What this module is about:
For a small country Scotland has a large historical footprint.

This course examines Scotland’s rich history via the close study of some of the key aspects of the country’s past. It draws on the physical environment, material objects and written texts to provide a sense of the events and themes which have formed Scotland’s history.

• Connecting the Ancient and the Modern Worlds
