    DescriptionAs Scotland's 'National Bard' once said, 'the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry*', but a group of University of Aberdeen students weren't going to let Covid-19 prevent them from running a new literary festival this month (September 23 - 27).

    While the WayWORD Festival may not be able to take place quite as originally planned, an exciting programme of online events has been created for the student-led literary arts festival.
