The title of the upcoming conference to be held on November 13 and 14 is 'Old Maps and New', the title of a Norman MacCaig poem. The event coincides with the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great Scottish poet whose heartland is acknowledged to be Assynt, in North West Sutherland. Included in the programme will be events to mark this centenary, organised in association with the Poetry Library in Edinburgh and Top Left Corner, the literature organisation based in Assynt.
