Information about The Strathmartine Trust
The Strathmartine Trust was established by the late Dr Ronald Cant to encourage and support the study of all periods of Scottish History, continuing the work which he started in his lifetime.
The Strathmartine Centre is open for use by those who have registered and who pay a small annual fee, currently £30 per annum. This includes access to the Centre Library and kitchen facilities, and invitations to our monthly coffee mornings, where registered users get together to present their current research projects to one another in an informal setting.
Study Rooms and Amenities
The Strathmartine Centre also has four study rooms available for registered users, on a single or shared basis. One room is currently home to the 'Scotland and the Wider World Project', under the auspices of the Institute of Scottish Historical Research at the University of St Andrews. This project seeks to establish the full extent of Scotland's links with the 'Wider World', particularly in the Early Modern Period and currently involves several PhD students.
We currently have a few desks available for registered users. Please contact the Office for further information E-Mail office@strathmartine.demon.co.uk.
The centre also has a fully equipped kitchen and common room for Centre Users, where you can meet to discuss and catch up with other centre members over a tea or coffee. Just outside the kitchen the centre also has a small walled garden complete with patio and a rhubarb patch!
The Trust also offers a small range of publications for sale, including the most recent edition of Ronald Cant's The University of St Andrews: A Short History, and other works authored by researchers connected to the Trust. For more information on these works, please see the 'Library' page.
