A civic reception was held on May 14 to mark the amazing contribution of Innes Duffus to The Nine Trades, The Three Trades and The Guildry. Innes was appointed Master of Commerce, Craft and Trade. The Innes Duffus Scholarship Fund and an Annual Lecture Programme, focussed on the history of Dundee has also been established. This is the first time the award has been made which ironically, Innes will have to add to his endless and dedicated archive of The Nine Incorporated Trades.
