Undiscovered Dundee by Brian King
Welcome to Dundee. A modern city at first glance, but with an illustrious past that's not always easy to see. Decades of regeneration, and sometimes dubious progress, have seen to that. But if you look a little closer, dig a little deeper, you will find a hidden city alive with history. Undiscovered Dundee uncovers the city's lost inheritance, its forgotten disasters and forsaken landmarks, the heroes and villains that time has erased, the citizens who stayed and made a difference to their city and those who left and made an impact on the world beyond. Sometimes the story ventures far from Dundee and sometimes it tells what happened when everyone from writers to royalty, from presidents to pop stars, came to visit. Dundee and its people, past and present, bind the tales together and reveal a city still waiting to be discovered.
Brian King was born in Dundee in 1965. Growing up during a time of rapid change in his home town, he developed a keen interest in all aspects of the city's past. In 1989 he graduated from the University of Edinburgh with an MA (Hons) in History. He currently lives in Edinburgh where he has worked as a professional searcher of public records for more than twenty years, but is still a regular visitor to Dundee. This is his first book.
