Dundee's varied History - new book from Dundee Naturalists' Society

Just arrived on the Chair’s doorstep from Abertay Historical Society - new book ‘Gleaners of Nature: 150 Years of the Dundee Naturalists’ Society' This joint production of Dundee Naturalists and AHS is authored by Jim Cook, Colin McLeod, and none other than TVFHS’s own Anne Reid!
It’s a different bit of Dundee’s history - the origins and development of the Naturalists’ Society - Dundee's longest-surviving scientific society - and what they’ve done in the last 150 years, their ups and downs, connecting with our local Tay Valley area and further afield, with many mentions of notable people, organisations, and scientific meetings. Very well worth a read. And some of our other TVFHS members, or their recent ancestors, may well be or have been involved with the Dundee Naturalists.

It’s available from either Dundee Nats or Abertay HS - both on Facebook or please google them.  And there’s been a nice display at the central Dundee Museum (the McManus), of this history. For more details about the book and the society please see the Abertay HS site - https://abertay.org.uk/product/gleaners-of-nature-150-years-of-the-dundee-naturalists-society/
