Mapping Identities Conference Programme Now Confirmed
In 2025, UHI Institute for Northern Studies, together with our collaborative partners from the National Library of Scotland and Landscape Research Group, launched Mapping Identities: Visual Depictions of Scotland.
This project, funded through the generous support of an RSE Research Collaboration Grant, brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to explore the ways in which maps have been, and are still, used to interpret and shape Scotland’s understanding of the present, past and future.
On 10th February 2026, the project will host a free hybrid conference at UHI Perth to explore this topic with colleagues.
The full programme is now confirmed:
