A Moray student is to undertake new research into the fate of farms which were set up on marginal land after the Highland Clearances
Stephen Worth from Findhorn is the first University of the Highlands and Islands student to be awarded a Carnegie- Caledonian PhD scholarship and is one of only 19 recipients in Scotland this year. Administered by the Carnegie Trust, the award will help to cover Stephen’s fees and research expenses for three years.
Stephen is using the scholarship to undertake ‘groundbreaking’ research into the fate of farms which were set up on marginal land after the Highland Clearances. He decided to follow his passion for history and archaeology after retiring from a 38-year career in the Royal Air Force. He completed a BA (Hons) in archaeology at Moray College UHI before gaining an MSc in archaeological practice with the University of the Highlands and Islands archaeology institute at Orkney College UHI. He is now completing his PhD through the university’s Centre for History, with support from the Archaeology Institute.
