We’ve been working with the LSS to bring you some more seminars. These will be offered free via remote access, see below. Obviously as they are in an evening I do need to know we have enough people to make it viable to have the library open so I do need an RSVP. We will only be offering access if 6 or more people commit to coming, so please do let me know if you wish to come – and latterly if you need to change your plans.
Just email if you wish to come. There is no cost involved so there will be no refreshments but feel free to bring your own. The library will be open from 5.45 to allow you to come in and get settled before the session starts. It should finish about 7 but we won’t chase you out till 7.30 if you wish to network and discuss the seminar.
Carmelite Dig Talk
Aberdeen Carmelite friary is first mentioned in documents in 1273 and is one of 4 medieval friaries known in the City. Excavations in 1980-1 and 1994 prior to redevelopment of the Green revealed a well-preserved church, domestic buildings and over 300 burials. The talk will consider in detail this friary and compare it to the other two Alison has excavated – the Blackfriars (Robert Gordon’s College, Schoolhill) and Greyfriars (Marischal College).
