The Society awarded grants to a total value of £21,588.  This year the Society awarded grants to a typically diverse group of projects, from the curse of Archbishop Dunbar through to Naken chaetrie (the material culture of Gypsy Travellers) and analysis of a collection of early people’s lithics collected in the 1970s. In providing these funds, the Society aims to encourage best practice in the research of Scotland’s past.
