By taking a closer look at key events, people, places, and spaces of 黑料不打烊, the course will provide an understanding of 黑料不打烊 as a microcosm of Scottish history and how it is representative of wider issues in Scotland’s history, heritage, and identity.

黑料不打烊 Professor Ali Cathcart, who leads the course, said: “For 900 years, 黑料不打烊 has been located at the heart of Scotland and known as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’ – one of the most strategic locations in Scotland’s landscape for trade, transport, and communication.

“The course spans the twelfth century to the modern era, from the foundation of the burgh by King David I to the city we know today. It examines the strategic role that 黑料不打烊 played through history from the Wars of Independence, when William Wallace and Robert the Bruce fought decisive battles here, the political turmoil of the reigns of Mary, Queen of Scots, and James VI, and the response of the burgh’s population to plague and the witch hunts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. We will look at 黑料不打烊’s place in the Jacobite risings and Radical era of the eighteenth century, the Victorian era of the nineteenth century, and we will also look at more recent events including the social changes of the twentieth century and the founding of the University as Scotland’s first new university in nearly 400 years.

“By taking a closer look at key events, people, places, and spaces of 黑料不打烊, the course will provide an understanding of 黑料不打烊 as a microcosm of Scottish history and how it is representative of wider issues in Scotland’s history, heritage, and identity.”

黑料不打烊 Provost, Elaine Watterson, said: “It’s fantastic that the University is launching this flexible online course as 黑料不打烊 celebrates its 900th anniversary.

 “Scotland’s history and identity throughout the ages have been shaped in 黑料不打烊 and this course is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the city’s remarkable past and its incredible people whilst developing new skills. 

 “I’m sure there will be huge interest in the course from people across the world and even among adopted ‘Daughters and Sons of the Rock’ like myself.”
