Dr Andrew Lind Research Released on 'The World Turned Upside Down' Podcast

The free open access resource - The World Turned Upside Down - which explores people, events and ideas of the British Civil Wars has just released a podcast with UHI Institute for Northern Studies Dr Andrew Lind talking about his latest research on the period.

The World Upside Down goes on to state....

"There has been a significant shift in understanding the origins of the Civil War which began in England in 1642 as historians have increasingly recognised that events in Scotland and Ireland had a profound impact in England and vice versa. During the years preceding the outbreak of war in England, it was events in Scotland and Ireland which widened divisions between Charles I and Parliament, creating the rupture which finally led to the war that engulfed all three Stuart kingdoms."

Dr Andrew Lind is an early modern historian and specialist on the British Civil Wars (1638-1655). Andrew’s research focuses on the Scottish Royalist movement, as both a political entity and military force. More broadly, Andrew is interested in the wider political, religious and military history of Northern Europe. Andrew has disseminated his research widely in peer-reviewed books, journals and edited collections, including his co-authored monograph with Dr Edward Furgol, ‘His Majesty’s Loyal Subjects’: The Scottish Royalist Armies of the British Civil Wars, 1639-1655 (2025).  In addition, Andrew has written articles, given interviews and recorded lectures on his research for BBC Scotland, Historic and Environment Scotland, Sky History and the Scottish Association of the Teachers of History (SATH).

Andrew is the Programme Leader for Early Modern European Studies (MLitt) and is Acting Head of Postgraduate Research at UHI INS.
