Arbuthnott Lectures
The Justin Arbuthnott Trust, held by the University, provides a postgraduate scholarship each year and this lecture, both of which are designed to promote the better understanding of Ireland and various complex relationships which link Ireland and Britain.
About the Arbuthnott Lecture
This lecture is an annual event hosted by the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, and funded by the Justin Arbuthnott Trust.
The Justin Arbuthnott Trust was founded by friends and family of Justin Arbuthnott, an Edinburgh University History student who was drowned along with three friends one night in July 1989 when their boat capsized off the coast near County Donegal in Ireland.
