She is the author of Anti-Catholic Strategies in Eighteenth-Century Scotland (‘Scottish Studies International 35’, Peter Lang, 2004), which focuses on the struggle between Presbyterians and Catholics in eighteenth-century Scotland, and in particular on how schools were used in the anti-Catholic crusade in the Highlands.

Her research has come to focus on the European correspondence of the clandestine Scottish Catholic community in the eighteenth century.
