The Strathmartine Trust - Research and Education in Scottish History

The Strathmartine Trust was founded in 1999, by the late Ronald Gordon Cant, to encourage and support the study of Scottish History. The Strathmartine Centre in St Andrews is an independent study centre equipped with Library, Study Rooms and Meeting Rooms which are intended primarily for independent researchers, retired people with historical interests and visiting scholars. Residential facilities are available for visitors who wish to spend a period of research time in St Andrews.

The Library forms a useful collection from Dr. Cant's own books and from the the libraries of Dr. Marjorie Anderson, Professor D.E.R.Watt, Mr Ian Keillar and Dr. Annette Smith. It is accessible to registered users for consultation (but not for loan). The library computer has access to the Internet via Broadband connection.

Those who are interested in finding out more about the possibilities of registering as a user of The Strathmartine Centre should contact office@strathmartine.demon.co.uk

The Trust also awards Grants, mainly to support completion of research projects and the publication of works on Scottish history.
