Elphinstone Institute launches new website

The Elphinstone Institute at the University of Aberdeen has relaunched its website. You can take a look at it here.

The Elphinstone Institute is a centre for the study of Ethnology, Folklore, and Ethnomusicology at the University of Aberdeen. Established in 1995, the Institute researches and promotes the culture of the North and North-East of Scotland in context.

Using ethnographic methodologies, staff, research fellows, and students research ideas of identity and belonging, meaning and function, drawing on an exceptional heritage of traditional music, song, story, lore and language, alongside the dynamic creativity of those who live and work here today.
