Over £16,000 awarded to ten projects committed to researching stories from Scottish history
The Society of Antiquaries of Scotland announced today that it has awarded funding to 10 projects committed to researching stories from Scottish history. This round awarded £16,323 to 10 projects researching an aspect of Scottish history or archaeology, including: a community dig at Govan Old near Glasgow (pictured below); determining a precise date and geographic origin for 14 boat burials identified across Scotland and the Isle of Man; investigating the antiquarian travels of Robert Wilson and the artefacts he brought back to Scotland, and more.
Dr Suzanne Lyle FSAScot, Vice President of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and Convenor of the Grants and Awards Committee, said: “In the year ahead we are awarding funding to projects undertaken by researchers across a range of fields relating to Scottish history. This exciting research is supported by Fellows of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and we very much look forward to seeing the outcomes which will help us all to learn more about Scotland’s past.”
