Abstract
The interest in Scottish history at the university level is a comparatively recent phenomenon and a useful discussion of this subject by Bruce Lenman in the Scottish Historical Review identifies a number of the areas which still await their historians. Nonetheless, it is equally true, as he remarks, that 'Scottish history and especially the history of Scotland before 1603 has never been more vigorous or more relevant.'1 It is the aim of this brief study to show that such a development had its counterpart over a century ago and that one of the most enduring contributions to the pre-Reformation period in particular was that of Joseph Robertson, a life-long friend of the historian, John Hill Burton.
