When Bank of Scotland was founded in 1695, 172 of the richest members of society invested their money into the fledgling organisation. The stories of the investors, or adventurers as they were known, are filled with intrigue, conflict, and scandal, and many have been left untold for decades. Join us as we unpack the tales behind the names on the list, and the impact – for better or worse – that they left behind them. This event will be hosted on Microsoft Teams.
