Description
Northern Scotland is an established scholarly journal that has been in existence since 1972. Initially produced by the University of Aberdeen, and latterly by the UHI Centre for History and Aberdeen University, it is now being relaunched as a fully peer-reviewed publication whose editorial board, contributors, reviewers and referees are drawn from a wide range of experts across the world. While it carries material of a mainly historical nature, from the earliest times to the modern era, it is a cross-disciplinary publication, which also addresses cultural, economic, political and geographical themes relating to the Highlands and Islands and the north-east of Scotland. It contains substantial articles and book reviews, as well as interviews and reports of research projects in progress.
