Does anyone happen to have access to a digital copy of the Treasurer Accounts of Scotland Volume 12 (1566-1574)? ππΌπ€πΌ
I can only get up to Volume 10 AND the physical copy was missing in the library π
Was tempted to wander the floors looking to see who had it since it's reference only but I refrained
Very excited to share a stage with some amazing women @edbookfest.bsky.social
Rosemary Goring, Kate Anderson and I will be discussing Mary, Queen of Scots and James VI under the expert care of Anna Groundwater on 20 Aug

Had a great time chatting with Johanna about challenging traditional portrayals of queens and of course the value of letters!
