Friends of Wighton

In the 19th century, the Dundee merchant Andrew J Wighton amassed a great collection of early printed Scottish music books. The collection is now housed in a purpose-built study centre and performance space in Dundee City library. The Friends exists to help make the collection and the centre more accessible to the people of Dundee, Fife and Angus.
