Though I started out as a new political historian primarily concerned with the sociology of the first Tory party, my growing interest in Jacobitism led to my research expanding to take in the entire range of the phenomenon from theology to art, though I am obviously more au fait with some areas than others! By contrast, I developed my fascination with all aspects of early eighteenth-century Scotland later in my career, after researching Scottish politics around the time of the Act of Union of 1707, and Scottish history is now the driving force behind my research and writing.
