Colonial Connections: North East Scotland's Colonial Past, 1700-1840
With support from the University of Aberdeen Museums and Special Collections and The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh, this one-day virtual conference seeks to explore how individuals from the North East of Scotland participated in Britain’s growing empire during the 18th and 19th centuries. We invite participants interested in the many settlers, soldiers, planters, magistrates, pirates and missionaries from the regions of Scotland’s North East that now constitute Aberdeenshire, Moray and Angus. We welcome presentations from scholars and anyone carrying out research into colonial connections to the North East of Scotland.
