The Scottish Place-Name Society (SPNS) invites all to join its upcoming Autumn Conference, scheduled for 8 November 2025 – and this year, it's going fully online via Zoom, making it more accessible than ever.
This annual gathering is a key event for anyone passionate about Scotland’s rich toponymic heritage. Scholars, local historians, linguists, and place-name enthusiasts are encouraged to mark their calendars for a day of engaging talks and shared insights into the history, language, and culture embedded in Scottish place-names.
📣 Call for Papers
In keeping with its mission to promote the study of Scotland’s place-names, SPNS is currently accepting proposals for presentations. Contributions may focus on any aspect of Scottish toponymy and should be 30 minutes in total (including Q&A).
If you have a research project, case study, or discovery related to Scottish place-names, the committee invites you to submit an abstract or brief summary to conference@spns.org.uk no later than 31 August 2025. Notification of acceptance will be sent after 3 September 2025.
Stay tuned for further details regarding registration and the conference programme, which will be announced in due course on the official SPNS website.
➡️ Feel free to share this announcement with colleagues, students, and place-name aficionados across the globe!
