My thesis on the SSPCK is now publicly available. If you're into governance in post-Union Scotland, the history of education, language use in the Gaelic-speaking Highlands, and 18th century ideological struggles, give it a look . https://t.co/vzWfH3BVV4

If you're interested in theology and you're in the centre of Edinburgh right now, you may want to rescue a few historic tomes from the skip outside the Free Church Offices on the Mound. Would be nice to see some of them find a place on a shelf again rather than all go to landfill

Any #twitterstorians out there still using the god forsaken platform who have a copy (pref digital!) of Gavin White's "New History of the Scottish Episcopal Church"? It's impossible to get a hold of in print at a reasonable price! @secsynod

"Financing the arts is an economic investment, not a subsidy. Further, placing the arts and culture sector “down the governmental pecking order” is a product of outdated thinking."

The Kirk Session minutes are a rich source for researching social history.

The church was once the primary organisation providing poor relief to parishioners. Kirk Session minutes contain records of charitable grants, and much more.

Some entries in our Old Parish Registers were later updated.

This record of a marriage contract in 1720 between schoolmaster Patrick Cheyne and Sophia Garioch has been updated twice:

First “The match was broke off”, and then - in a different hand - “Ha ha ha ha! He he he!”

Niche style dilemma: if the custom is single quotes as default and double quotes for quotes within quotes, what about quotes within quotes within quotes? Revert to single quotes?
