New Talk forthcoming! The Thesaurer...

Forthcoming very soon - latest Tay Valley Talk from our President, about the Thesaurer (Treasurer) of Dundee over the centuries. Iain says, 'Lots of names! And women with money - lots of it! And tobacco and wyne being sent to the Governor (Monk) in 1652 to keep him sweet. Not a strong puritan, obviously...'

Previous info on this talk read: 'The Thesaurer and Mr Micawber; "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds nought and six, result misery," Iain Flett will look at the unsung burgh post of Thesaurer, a position so unpopular among the 17th and 18th century councillors that they had to be forced to perform the office. 

Watch this space for information. Q&A will be on the last Monday of this month, 28th July.
