Deacon Convener of the Nine Incorporated Trades of Dundee, John Fyffe MBE, joined other craft members at a special fundraising dinner hosted by The Guildry of Dundee on Friday night.
The dinner was held in Dundee’s City Chambers with musical entertainment from Tower Beats.
Lord George Robertson, former Secretary General of NATO and Secretary of State for Defence, was a special guest speaker who gave a fascinating insight into his time in office on the World political stage and his earlier life in Dundee, where he studied at the University of Dundee.
Lord Dean of Guild and Lord Lyon King of Arms, Joe Morrow, made Lord Roberston an honorary member of The Guildry of Dundee. A vote of thanks was given by Ivor Morton, the incoming Lord Dean of Guild.
The Guildry of Dundee stands as one of Scotland’s most historical and venerable institutions, with its roots deeply entrenched in the medieval period. Initially established in the 13th century, it functioned as an association of traders and merchants responsible for regulating trade within Dundee, a key Scottish trading port.
