Hello everyone,
One behalf of Durham University’s Development and Alumni Relations Office, I’m pleased to invite you to this event.
Apologies for the short notice, I was only told today that this invite was no restricted to alumni. 6pm BST is 1pm EDT, 12noon CDT, 11am MDT, 10 am PDT
Durham Inspired: Live in Lockdown
The Battle of Dunbar and the Scottish Soldiers: People and Place, Now and Then
Thursday 17 September 2020, 6pm (BST)
In November 2013, two mass graves were discovered during construction work at Durham University’s Palace Green Library, on the City’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. This discovery generated an
extensive period of analysis led by experts in our world-leading Department of Archaeology. This analysis concluded that the remains were indeed those of the Scottish soldiers from the Battle of Dunbar; a finding that helped solve the near 400 year mystery
of their last resting place. Since then, the Project Team have delved further into the history of these soldiers; their lives both on and off the battlefield, and what became of those who survived imprisonment to make new lives in far distant lands.
This session will focus on the people and places at the heart of this project. Dr Arran Johnston, Director of the Scottish Battlefields Trust will be giving an overview of the Battle of Dunbar
itself, the legacy of the battle-site and how the Trust are preserving its memory. Professor Chris Gerrard, project lead from our Department of Archaeology will also be shedding light on some of the fascinating stories from those who fought, survived and went
on to lead full lives in distant lands, and how descendants today are shaped by their Scottish identities.

Great event Andrew. Thanks for making us aware. They mentioned there was going to be another event coming up with a focus on the Durham Cathedral. I went to the Durham Alumni site and could not find that event. Do you (or anyone else) have the details?
Thanks,

Durham Inspired: Live in Lockdown
The Battle of Dunbar and the Scottish Soldiers: People and Place, Now and Then
Thursday 17 September 2020, 6pm (BST)
In November 2013, two mass graves were discovered during construction work at Durham University’s Palace Green Library, on the City’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. This discovery generated
an extensive period of analysis led by experts in our world-leading Department of Archaeology. This analysis concluded that the remains were indeed those of the Scottish soldiers from the Battle of Dunbar; a finding that helped solve the near 400 year mystery
of their last resting place. Since then, the Project Team have delved further into the history of these soldiers; their lives both on and off the battlefield, and what became of those who survived imprisonment to make new lives in far distant lands.
This session will focus on the people and places at the heart of this project. Dr Arran Johnston, Director of the Scottish Battlefields Trust will be giving an overview of the Battle
of Dunbar itself, the legacy of the battle-site and how the Trust are preserving its memory. Professor Chris Gerrard, project lead from our Department of Archaeology will also be shedding light on some of the fascinating stories from those who fought, survived
and went on to lead full lives in distant lands, and how descendants today are shaped by their Scottish identities.

I thought I had signed up for that too, but can't find anything about it anywhere right now. We will have to wait until Andrew can give us some information.
Great event Andrew. Thanks for making us aware. They mentioned there was going to be another event coming up with a focus on the Durham Cathedral. I went to the Durham Alumni
site and could not find that event.
Do you (or anyone else) have the details?
