About me

I hold degrees in History (BA Honours, First Class), Classical Studies (BA Honours, First Class), Psychology (BSc) and Marketing Management (BA), and a PhD in History.

I also hold Qualified Teaching Status (QTS) and am registered to teach History, Classical Studies, Latin, Modern Studies, Psychology, Sociology and Business Education with the General Teaching Council of Scotland (GTCS).

My research interests primarily include the field of Jacobite studies. My doctoral thesis was entitled 'Lawful Sovereignty: The Political Criminalisation and Decriminalisation of Jacobitism, 1688–1788'. Other interests include broader social aspects of the Jacobite movement, including material culture and court politics, especially concerning the lives of the exiled Stuarts.

Aside from this topic, I am also interested in other aspects of Scottish history, particularly within the long eighteenth century, and in Classical Studies with its significant influence upon later epochs in Scottish and British history. I hope to explore these connections in future research.
