The John O Groats Book Festival will take place online in 2021, having been cancelled last year due to the pandemic.
Last year’s line up of local interest and talks by famous Scottish writers is being reactivated, and the events are free and bookable through Eventbrite.
Organisers had hoped the festival could go ahead in Caithness this year, but with the restrictions they decided an online event is the best way to hold it safely.

Wick Heritage Museum could reopen in the early part of the summer, depending on Covid-19 guidance.
The voluntary-run centre had to remain closed throughout 2020 but measures are being put in place that could allow visitors from the start of June â even if only in a limited way at first.
In a newsletter to members of the Wick Society, which operates the museum in the town s Bank Row, chairman Ian Leith explained that a number of funding applications had been made. If successful, these would allow for the purchase of protective equipment, a deep clean of the building, equipment to allow ongoing cleaning and a credit-card and online payment system to reduce the need to handle cash.

A chance observation in an old newspaper has led to the discovery of two photos of Wick in the Royal Collection.
The photographs are held at Windsor because they were gifted to Queen Victoria by the Earl of Caithness in 1865.
What’s more, they are early examples of the work of Alexander Johnston, who with his brother James and the following two generations created a massive photographic record of Caithness in more than 100,000 images, known as the Johnston Photographic Collection.
