Forum Conference on Orkney

The Forum for Research in the Languages of Scotland and Ulster is to hold its conference next year from 21 to 25 July 2009 and it will be situated in Orkney College, Kirkwall. Final details have yet to be hammered out but papers have been offered by Magnus and Andro Linklater, Michael Longley (on ‘My Orkney Poems’), Peder Gammeltoft on Shetland and Orkney names, and also from Donna Heddle, Berit Sanders and Doreen Waugh. There is still time for offers of papers to be considered and any contributions (on any of the languages of Scotland and Ulster) should be sent to the Chair J Derrick McClure by the deadline of 15 October 2008, either by e-mail j.d.mcclure@abdn.ac.uk or by post to School of Languages and Literature, King’s College, Aberdeen University, Old Aberdeen AB24 2UB, Scotland.
