What are the pros and cons of using autobiographical sources towards understanding the past? How interconnected and entangled with the outside world was the Highlands before Culloden? This talk will present some of the work that has gone into his  forthcoming Edinburgh University Press book on Rev. James Fraser (1634-1709), a minister in Kirkhill, scholar, traveller and prolific writer.
