Archive · Pre-1700 Highland · Reading rooms
Where the work happens.
Reading rooms, the long table, the bench in Edinburgh, and the pre-seventeen-hundred Highland material that takes up most of the current schedule. A small visual archive of the room rather than the document.

Joined the National Records of Scotland, Edinburgh. Documents, materials, handwriting comparison.
First sole-authored report submitted to a sheriff court on a disputed family deed.
Left the Records to go freelance. Bench established in Edinburgh.
First long engagement with pre-seventeen-hundred Highland charters.
Twenty-year mark. Stopped accepting cases on a tight deadline if the document was fragile.
Refused all media work. Continued written reports only.
Mostly Highland charters and estate papers. A small number of open cases at a time. Reports in plain English.
