Hey everyone!
My name is Chloe and I am from the outskirts of Edinburgh and my degree is ‘Scottish History’ so my dissertation topic must fall within that. I am deeply interested and fascinated by the Scottish struggle for independence and the roles of Wallace and Bruce however, after doing my Vikings module last semester I am now considering doing my dissertation on Viking settlement in Scotland (Orkney, Shetlands and areas such as Caithness) and assess whether or not there was assimilation or conflict as it is heavily debated! Regarding online learning I’ve struggled a bit as I am quite a luddite with technology and initially nervous when it comes to talking on teams however it has saved me a fortune on petrol and getting up super early to get to Stirling so that is a positive.
