University of Guelph's Gavin Hughes (MA '24) (l) and Dr. Kevin James (r) stand in front of the stately Duff House, in Banff, Aberdeenshire.
University of Guelph recent graduate, Gavin Hughes (MA '24), was the lead student researcher with Dr. Kevin James, professor of history and Centre for Scottish Studies chair at Guelph. They have a unique partnership with Historic Environment Scotland. Working with Laura Harrison and a team at the stately Duff House, in Banff, Aberdeenshire, researchers explore the 'Many Stories of Duff House' - focusing on its twentieth-century incarnations as an hotel, sanatorium, POW camp, a centre for Norwegian and Polish forces, and ultimately a restored stately home and gallery. The partnership demonstrates the central role students like Gavin play in the Centre for Scottish Studies, and the wide impact of their research!
