Alexander Stoddart Wilson

Alexander Stoddart Wilson (1854–1909) was a Scottish minister of the Free Church of Scotland who was also a scientist, serving as interim Professor of Botany at Glasgow University.

His period as interim professor seems to have been necessitated to cover a prolonged field trip by Alexander Dickson.

A separate mission hall was built to accommodate the several hundred workers working on the north side of the Firth of Forth.

He recruited an assistant missionary (Captain Elder) to help in this task, which included lectures in temperance.

[2] During his period at North Queensferry he appears to have continued his Monday to Friday role as a lecturer in Glasgow (this was very unusual).
