Using examples from across Aberdeenshire\, Professor Richard Oram will explore how these castles were not only fortresses but also sophisticated residences that displayed wealth\, status\, European connections and family lineage. They were statements of confidence and prestige as much as places of defence. \nAbout the Speaker \nProfessor Richard Oram is President of the Scottish Castles Association and Professor of Medieval and Environmental History at the University of Stirling. He is one of Scotland’s foremost authorities on medieval history and castles\, with an extensive body of published work spanning Scottish lordship\, castle architecture and environmental history\, including the acclaimed three-volume An Environmental History of Scotland from the Romans to COP26.
