Scotland's History Festival

This November I'm taking part in Previously... 2012, Scotland's History Festival. Come back with me to the Regency period to meet some of the people who lived in the new West End of Edinburgh in three talks, Indian Ships and English Shops on wealth and status, Poetry, Picturesque and More Gooseberry Pyes on domestic life, and Choirs, Catechisms and Corn-craiks on politics, religion and ideology. Follow me on Facebook or watch the History Festival Website for details.

Eleanor M Harris

I'm an illustrator and historian living and working in Edinburgh, City of Literature. I make books, maps, cards, pictures. My inspirations are the history, literature and nature of Scotland and beyond. My tools are watercolour, calligraphy, fiction, research, a little netbook and a bicycle.

If you'd like to ask me a question or make a comment or just say hello, I'd love to hear from you at eleanor@eleanormharris.co.uk

History

I am working on a PhD on the Edinburgh New Town, which you can find out a bit more about on the marmionmouse page of my website. I am developing a mailing list of people who would be interested to receive occasional emails about talks or publications connected with this research. If you would like to be included on it, please email me at eleanor@eleanormharris.co.uk

For history chat I use twitter. Here are my latest updates, which may or may not be relevant! If you're interested in history come and say hello:
