I was recently asked to write a piece on Dorothy for Women’s History Scotland in the run up to her centenary year – a task which I was delighted to undertake. As most of you reading this know, I can write forever about her, and often have!

It has now been published and you can read it at http://womenshistoryscotland.org/2022/12/17/dorothy-dunnett-obe-scottish-renaissance-woman/

My thanks to the tireless and ever-patient Julia Hart for makng the introduction, and to Dr Rebecca Mason for liaising with us both about the content of the article.

If you happen to be new to this site and would like to read more about Dorothy’s life then please take a look at the talk I gave about her at the Carnegie Library in Dunfermline some years ago as part of the Fife Local Heroes event.
