Gleaners of Nature: 150 years of the Dundee Naturalists' Society 1874-2024

The Dundee Naturalists’ Society celebrates its 150th anniversary as a body providing lectures, field excursions and social activities for its members, typical of many local natural history societies throughout Britain. In the early 1880s, it was one of the largest and most prestigious organisations in Dundee, and amongst the most significant and progressive scientific societies in Scotland. Visiting lecturers included some of the most notable scientists of the late 19th century. Traces of the Society’s educational legacy remain in some of Dundee’s institutions, while its pioneering efforts in nature conservation also left an important inheritance to the present day. Doors open from 12.30pm at the Glasite Hall on King Street. Please enter from the churchyard or the car park (the lift is available from both sides but the accessible door is at the car park entrance). You do not need to bring a printed ticket. Please note that parking is not available for visitors. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available to purchase before the talk. Entry to the talks are free but if you would like to make a donation towards the hire of the hall, there will be a donations tin available. Information published by Leisure and Culture Dundee.
