In conversation: the St Andrews Chronicles

Join University Principal Professor Dame Sally Mapstone FRSE in conversation with Professor Dauvit Broun of the University of Glasgow and Rare Books Librarian in University Collections and Museums, Elizabeth Henderson, as they explore the St Andrews Chronicles – one of Scotland's most important historical works.

Discover the story of this extraordinary manuscript's journey to St Andrews and its profound significance for our understanding of Scottish identity, legacy and nationhood.

The St Andrews Chronicles will be on public display in the Museum during the event and wine and elderflower fizz will be served before the discussion.

This event is part of the From These Parts: Scotland, Art and Identity programme, accompanying the exhibition on view at the Wardlaw Museum from 18 October 2025 to 15 February 2026. The programme explores the layered and evolving nature of Scottish identity through creativity, conversation, and community. Rooted in the provocation Where are you from?, it invites participants to reflect on belonging, place and heritage while recognising how this question can carry both curiosity and harm. The programme challenges traditional notions of ‘Scottishness' and celebrates the diverse voices that shape Scotland's past, present, and future.
