SUMMARY:Lecture on Scottish Prisoners from the Battle of Dunbar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this important free lecture presented by the Maine Ulster-Scots Project. \nJUNE 2\, 2025 7:00PM\nWolfe’s Neck Center\, 184 Burnett Rd. Freeport\, Maine \nChris Gerrard\, Professor of Archaeology at Durham University (UK) and team leader for the Scottish Soldiers Project will present: \n‘Lost Lives\, New Worlds. Unlocking the story of the 1650 Scottish Soldiers buried in Durham (UK)’ \nIn November 2013 archaeologists observing building work near Durham Cathedral (UK) made an unexpected and unusual discovery when disordered tumbles of articulated skeletons were uncovered in two mass graves. Over the next three years\, a complex jigsaw of evidence was pieced together by a team of researchers in order to establish the identity of the human remains. \nToday we know them to be some of the SCOTTISH PRISONERS who died in terrible circumstances in Durham Cathedral and Castle following the Battle of Dunbar on the south-east coast of Scotland on 3rd September 1650. Using the latest techniques of archaeological science\, it has been possible to reconstruct how and why these men vanished off the historical radar. This lecture follows the controversies as researchers sought to solve a 350 year-old mystery. \nTo learn more about this lecture\, the Scottish Prisoners from the Battle of Dunbar\, and what they endured BEFORE they were transported to New England.
