Dear Student, Welcome to the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh. I Am Delighted That Dear student, Welcome to the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh. I am delighted that you have chosen to come to study with us. You have come through a tough selection process and you should be rightly proud of earning your place. As your teachers, the work that we do in the classroom and the other contexts in which we support our students is our clear priority. Our aim in this endeavour is to encourage you to become critical thinkers and independent learners with all the necessary skills and knowledge to take full advantage of higher education. You will be joining a vibrant academic community in our School. All three disciplines represented are concerned with the study of the human past: historians, classicists and archaeologists have much in common with each other. Nevertheless, each of our subject areas has its own strong identity from which you will draw much. You will also be joining an international group of students and will have the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world. The diverse nature of our student body is one of the features of the School of which we are most proud. The experience of each of our students is very important to us and all of our staff are there to help you with the questions that will inevitably arise as you experience the early days of your university education. There will be much in the next few weeks that will be new: new ways of learning, a new city, a new country, a new culture. You will have a Personal Tutor and all of the teaching staff have 'office hours' during which they will be available for consultation. We also have a 'Student Support Office' which is dedicated to the welfare of all the students in the School. The University was established in the sixteenth century and there are tangible benefits from such a long history but we have a modern outlook. The School also derives much from its physical and cultural setting in Scotland's capital city. Our courses draw in a variety of ways on the environment in which you will be living. The close relationships that we have with the libraries, museums and galleries in Edinburgh are a unique aspect of the student experience that you will enjoy. We hope that you will learn about many areas of the world and about themes that have global implications but we also encourage you to learn about Scotland, whether in the classroom or by travelling around the country - from the Mull of Galloway to Muckle Flugga (it may be difficult to get to Out Stack!) - in which you will be living for the next four years. The School is large and diverse and this provides you with an enviable range of choice of topics and themes to study: be adventurous, try out new areas of study, take the chance to explore disciplines and languages that you have not studied before. The Scottish degree system allows breadth of study over four years and Edinburgh has a wider range of choice than most institutions - take advantage of that. I am sure that the programme of study that you are embarking on today will be stimulating and challenging but it must also be enjoyable and all of our efforts in teaching are devoted to creating the right atmosphere for our students to learn. Much time will be spent in the classroom, the library, the laboratory and out in the field but there are other, sometimes even more enjoyable, activities to be engaged in and experiences to be had. Your student life should be enriched by your wider experience and Edinburgh is a city with fantastic facilities for enjoyment. We will support you in the School in finding the right career after you graduate. The University has a very active Careers Service, in which we have our own consultant, and there will be many career-related events in the School in which you can participate. Volunteering might be another way of adding to your experience. The Edinburgh University Students' Association provides information and opportunities in this area. We aim to produce eminent historians, classicists and archaeologists but we also recognise that through your university education you have the opportunity to develop into a more rounded individual with a deeper understanding of a range of issues relating to your discipline as well as 'life, the universe and everything'! Work hard, enjoy student life and don't hesitate to ask questions. Best wishes, Professor Ewen A.

  • Scotland's New Year Festival
    SCOTLAND’S NEW YEAR FESTIVAL FOREWORD A very warm welcome to you in our third year of producing Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, as we invite you to BE TOGETHER this Hogmanay. Now more than ever is the time to celebrate ‘togetherness’ and what better way than surrounded by people from all over the world at New Year? From performers to audiences, this festival is about coming together, being together, sharing experiences together and sharing the start of a new year arm in arm and side by side. BE ready to party from the 30th December as we return with a programme of events at the magnificent McEwan Hall. From the return of hit clubbing experience Symphonic Ibiza on 30th December featuring Ibiza DJs and a live orchestra, to the first party in 2020 celebrating the new year along with the Southern Hemisphere at G’Day 2020 with Kylie Auldist on 31 December. Jazz legends Ronnie Scott’s Big Band will play a gala concert on 31st December to give an alternative lead up to the bells and renowned DJ Judge Jules will spin into the wee small hours at our first ever Official After-Party. BE a trailblazer at the Torchlight Procession in partnership with VisitScotland. The historic event culminates in Holyrood Park as torchbearers create a symbol to share with the world: this year two figures holding hands - both residents and visitors to Scotland opening their door to the world and saying BE together. BE in the thick of it at the world famous Street Party hosted by Johnnie Walker, with a brilliantly eclectic programme of music, street theatre and spectacle.

Disrupting place attachment has a negative impact on people’s psychological well-being and the health of their communities. Place attachment can motivate people’s engagement in civic actions to protect their beloved places from being destroyed, especially when buildings and public spaces are demolished or redeveloped in historic places. However, the UK planning and heritage sectors have made only limited attempts to understand people’s attachment to the historic environment and how it may influence planning, conservation and development that affects historic places.
