A full day Study Event held at Carlisle's Tullie House Museum looking at the Anglo-Scottish border region and its links with a wider northern world. This event is for an in-person audience only and will not be recorded.

Carlisle - the ‘Great Border City’ – offers an ideal vantage point for surveying the Anglo-Scottish border region and its links with a wider northern world. Papers include the Scottish Society for Northern Studies’ annual Hermann Pálsson lecture, this year delivered by Dr Colleen Batey, a leading specialist in the study of Viking-Age Scotland. Other speakers will range across the medieval period, beginning in the last days of the Northumbrian and Cumbrian kingdoms, entities that stretched across the future Anglo-Scottish border. We’ll cover the changes of the Viking Age and the development of the border itself, ending in the fourteenth century - the era of the Wars of Independence. Subject to confirmation from Tullie House nearer the time (in light of ongoing building works) we hope that participants will be able to visit the Viking-Age and medieval displays in the Border Gallery on the first floor of the museum. Please note this event will be for in-person attendance only.
