On Saturday 7th October, Banffshire Field Club is hosting a one-day conference on the theme of “Banffshire Fowk”.

The Banffshire diaspora is the topic to be discussed by keynote speaker Professor Marjory Harper, an acknowledged authority on Scots emigration. Mary Evans, also well known to genealogists, will focus on Banffshire family history, while contributors to the programme will include speakers from Keith Local Heritage Group and other organisations representing different areas of Banffshire and its history.

The venue for this event will be the recently refurbished Seafield Arms Hotel in Cullen, Banffshire, AB56 4SH.
