to climate change.
Research strategy
It will apply a proven methodology combining quantitative and qualitative analysis of surviving written records. At its core are the records of the courts of the Church of Scotland, a research resource unique in early modern Europe in geographical coverage, susceptibility to weather impacts, and tendency to record those impacts. Alongside those, other administrative sources and personal writings (diaries and correspondence) will enhance the qualitative analysis of the weather patterns recorded in those ecclesiastical records by providing complementary evidence for social responses and human attitudes to weather and climate.
