Scottish Handwriting website relaunched
The Online Resources Team of The National Archives of Scotland are pleased to announce the redesign of the Scottish Handwriting website. The redesign was carried out in order to make the site more accessible and was done in accordance with government guidelines. Regular users of the site will notice a change to the tutorials and that the weekly tip is now incorporated into the weekly poser. In the coming months tutorials on reading testaments will be added. We hope that you will find the new site to be an improvement. Please send us your feedback on the redesign.
