Battles of East Lothian, 8 Dec 2020

Battles of East Lothian

East Lothian has a claim to being "Scotland's Battlefield County", the scene of some of Scotland's largest, bloodiest and most famous battles. In this talk, Arran Johnston takes us on a whirlwind history through over 900 years of conflict, highlighting how the battlefields of East Lothian record the story of how military technology, and the national story of Scotland, evolved.
