STS issued several fellowships (e.g. to J. C. "Scotty" Thompson, an American researcher of Highland cultural history). This is worth covering in the article. Thompson, for example, used the fellowship grant to do the research that proved the Sobieski Stuarts' Vestiarium Scoticum was a fraud. — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 18:24, 18 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
