Inhaltsangabe

Dundee is the unknown town of early modern Scotland. It was the second town in the realm until 1680 - a place of international mercantile entrepreneurs, and of high cultural values. As it settled down in the 18th century it transformed itself. This is very much a story of the mercantile elite of Scotland before and after the Union.
