Dr Victoria Thompson Whitworth will present her latest research exploring new theories about the creation of the Book of Kells and its potential ties to Pictish eastern Scotland. At the end of her talk, she will be joined by Master Craftsman Thomas Keyes, who will add his findings from recent archaeological experiments he is conducting. The event will be held in person in Edinburgh and will also be live-streamed worldwide for those who wish to attend virtually.

This event explores the intersection of archaeology and history, examining new evidence that challenges long-held assumptions about the origins of the Book of Kells. By highlighting Scotland's potential role in its creation, the talk offers compelling insights into the region's rich archaeological and cultural heritage, which may be of interest to those with an interest in archaeology, cultural heritage, and Scotland’s rich medieval past.
