SAFHS 2013 Conference in Galashiels

Saturday week sees the SAFHS Conference in Galashiels. I'll sadly not be able to make it this year, as my mad cousin Aly from Australia will be staying with us in Largs for a few days, but it looks another great programme. Here's the blurb from the SAFHS website (http://safhs.org.uk/conference.asp):
