Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course students will have acquired an awareness of the tenurial, military and political organisation of west Highland lordship and the way in which these features shaped perceptions of the Highlands as an area distinct in social and cultural terms from the rest of the Scottish kingdom. The course will also aim to provide students with a variety of teaching and learning situations which will encourage the development of analytical skills in the assessment and interpretation of contemporary sources, the ability to work constructively in a group and the ability to communicate the results of their work critically in oral and written form.
