I am a Senior Researcher at the Scottish Parliament with a specific focus on policy development.Aside from this I am a historian of early modern religion and politics with a primary focus on the years between the restoration of Charles II in 1660 and the accession of George III in 1760. My doctoral research, and the subject of my forthcoming monograph and recent publications, focused on how different types of religious toleration were contested in Scotland in the period after the revolution of 1688-90. More recently I have become interested in commonwealth thought and the intellectual legacy of seventeenth century republicanism in Scotland and Ireland.
