Roger Illsley on Wrighting Wrongs

Join Roger Illsley for a fascinating look into Dundee's history.

Wrighting Wrongs: The Story of a Dundee Dynasty tells the fascinating story of Frances Wright, a pioneering social reformer born in Dundee, and her remarkable family, whose influence spanned from the 1720s to the 1880s across Scotland and the USA. The book also features her father, James Wright Junior, a leading designer of 18th-century Scottish provincial coins.

This limited-edition volume has been written, designed, and printed in Dundee, and includes 160 pages of stunning illustrations, bound in a high-quality stitched and casebound format. Only 400 subscriber copies have been made available.

Proceeds from the event and book sales will be donated to the Dundee Carers Centre.
