\nOrganised by Deveron Arts, the Hielan\u2019 Ways Symposium – Perceptions of Exploration is the culmination of a year-long project which has seen artists, poets and musicians and a local historian produce work in response to the ancient drover\u2019s roads commonly known as the Hielan\u2019 Ways. The event will include a series of special walks around Scallan Seminary, discussions, including a talk by para-athlete and explorer Karen Darke, a concert and ceilidh.<\/p>\n
