Ireland and the art of stone carving in early medieval Europe. Lecture 2

Prof Roger Stalley, Fellow Emeritus of Trinity College, Dublin

Venue: Sir Charles Wilson Lecture Theatre, University of Glasgow (corner of Gibson Street and University Avenue)

Glasgow Archaeological Society

The search for meaning: the crosses were major investments but who commissioned them and why? The panels of figure sculpture offer some clues, but the iconographies can be difficult to interpret and their meanings likewise obscure. This talk will offer a critique of past approaches and suggest some new avenues of investigation.

The National Covenant and the Scottish People

Dr Laura Stewart

Venue: New Register House, Princes Street, Edinburgh

National Records of Scotland

Dr Laura Stewart (University of York). The National Covenant of 1638 is one of Scotland’s most controversial documents: for some, an expression of the people’s right to choose their own religion; for others, a statement in religious intolerance whose influence has lasted into modern times. Although the text has been heavily debated by scholars, very little attention has been given to its reception. This talk examines for the first time how the Covenant was taken by the people in the parishes. It sheds new light on its contested meanings and offers fresh reflections on its significance for understanding Scottish political identity. Dr Stewart is author of ‘Rethinking the Scottish Revolution: Covenanted Scotland, 1617-53’ (Oxford UP, 2016). New Register House.

Ireland and the art of stone carving in early medieval Europe. Lecture 4

Prof Roger Stalley, Fellow Emeritus of Trinity College, Dublin

Venue: Sir Charles Wilson Lecture Theatre, University of Glasgow (corner of Gibson Street and University Avenue)

Glasgow Archaeological Society

Stone carving in the early medieval world. In the nineteenth century the high crosses were regarded as a spectacular proof of the civilization of ancient Ireland; but were they an indigenous development or dependent on models introduced from abroad from late Antiquity or Carolingian Europe? This talk will demonstrate that, when it comes to artistic expression, the importance of the local environment must never be underestimated.

Scotland v Italy: an early battle on home ground?

Dr John Reid

Venue: Auditorium, Eastgate Theatre and Arts Centre, Peebles

Tweeddale Society

Four miles south-east of Lockerbie lies Burnswark Hill in Dumfriesshire, rising to nearly 1,000 feet from the surrounding countryside. It is one of the most prominent landmarks of the Solway basin. On the tabletop summit the remains of a 17-acre Roman hillfort have been uncovered. Their configuration is unique in Britain, and attempts to understand their significance have provoked considerable controversy for over half a century, with the purpose of these complex earthworks confounding archaeologists.
Excavations at Burnswark have revealed a greater number and variety of Roman missiles than anywhere else in Britain, while recent investigations and new techniques suggest this could be the site of one of the earliest conflicts between the Roman Empire and the Caledonians. John will bring us up-to-date with the results of the latest research.
Dr John Reid is Chairman of The Trimontium Trust, Melrose, which runs a series of activities for members and the general public including lectures, outings and other activities.
