Drifty Days - Birlinn Prize

7/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Some weeks ago I recorded the publication of my paper on The Drifty Days of 1674 in the journal Scottish Local History.

I have been a member for many years and, from time to time, have published other papers in the journal.

It was a pleasant surprise to hear that the paper had been chosen as joint winner of the Birlinn Prize for the best paper published this year in the journal - and the other winner is one I am happy to be compared with!

The details are John G Harrison, 2020. The Drifty Days; A Climate Crisis of 1673-4, Scottish Local History issue 107, p. 11-16.

The article can be downloaded at https://www.slhf.org/annual-prize where further details of the prize, funded by Birlinn, well-known as major publishers of Scottish historical material, can be found.

Volume 43 of the Forth Naturalist and Historian has now been published and brings yet another publication, the fourth of the year counting the web-based 'Last Wolf in Scotland'.
This one is the culmination of years of work on the Western Ochils entitled The Western Ochils c. 1450-2000. It is a drawing together of the threads of several different projects and endeavours an overview - even commenting on some contemporary changes.
You can get copies of the Journal (12) at the Smith, currently open for restricted hours Thursday to Sunday. Or by emailing fnh@stir.ac.uk
The journal, as ever, includes many other items of interest including the annual weather and bird reports and several other historical papers -for which see Flyer attached.
