  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Portraits of the High Officers and Professors of the University Of
    Quasi Cursores PORTRAITS of the High Officers and Professors of THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH at its Tercentenary Festival <DRA WN oAND ETCHED <BY WILLIAM HOLE A.R.S.A, EDINBURGH Constable Printed at the University Press by T. & A. M DCCC LXXXIV H E year that is closing while this volume is being completed has been marked by a memorable assemblage at Edinburgh. The University in the month of April celebrated the Tercentenary of its foundation by a festival which was attended by men the most eminent in Literature, in Science, and in Art from every quarter of the world. In time to come, when the vivid impression of this great event has passed away, and the recollection has become a tradition, men may ask, Who were they at whose invitation these illustrious persons came to accept hospitality in the ancient capital of Scotland? This volume will answer the question. The portraits now published will have an interest not only for the five thousand Graduates and three thousand Students of the present : when the men who are thus commemorated have passed the torch to other hands, and when the University of Edinburgh shall come to celebrate its Fourth Centenary, we are bold to believe that its members will still look with sympathy at its and gratitude on a pictured record of the teachers who Third Centenary were upholding the honour and traditions of an ancient School. One deep shadow comes over the pleasure of issuing this volume. While these sheets were passing through the press, he who for sixteen years presided over the Senatus of the University at whose bidding the great assemblage was gathered together has passed from the scene.

  • Diary of Andrew Hay of Craignethan, 1659-60
    %c%. b°) PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY VOLUME XXXIX HAY OF CRAIGNETHANS DIARY November 1901 V THE DIARY OF ANDREW HAY OF CRAIGNETHAN 1659-1660 Edited, with Introduction and Notes, by ALEXANDER GEORGE REID E.S.A. SCOT. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION DIARY INDEX INTRODUCTION John Hay, third Lord Yester, by his second wife, the daughter and heiress of John Dickson of Smithfield, had a son, the Hon. John, who succeeded to the estate of Smithfield. He was succeeded in that estate by his eldest surviving son, Thomas, who died in 1570. From Thomas the Smithfield branch of the Hays was descended. John Hay, the third son of the Hon. John Hay of Smith- field, married Marion Kerr, and acquired the lands of Kings- meadows. His eldest son, Andrew, married Janet Hay, and bought in 1635 the lands of Henderstoun, which he renamed Haystoun. He died in 1655, leaving two sons, John, who succeeded him in the estate of Haystoun, and Andrew, the writer of the Diary. Andrew Hay appears not to have embraced any profession. He is invariably designed as Mr. Andrew Hay from having taken the degree of Master of Arts. It is clear from the Diary that he was well acquainted with legal forms, and that he was frequently applied to for advice in legal matters. He may have been bred to that profession ; though, unlike his brother, who was one of the clerks of Council and Session, he did not carry it out, but preferred to live the life of a country gentle- man, which he was enabled to do by the patrimony received from his father and the dowry got with his wife.

David A. Sutton A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD to the University of Glasgow. The Department of Economic and Social History Centre for the History of Medicine Faculty of Law, Business and Social Sciences November 2008 © David Sutton August 2009 Abstract This thesis explores domiciliary medical care for the poor in Scotland. Domiciliary care is understood as medical care provided in the home by qualified medical practitioners, or medical students. The poor are understood as those simply unable to ‘pay the doctor’ for the services they received. Focus is upon service provision, and therefore this thesis is a study of the different medical agencies engaged in the visitation of patients, and of the diverse ways medical practitioners as agents of different medical services facilitated or administered treatment.
