Allen Dalzell

Allen Dalzell MD FRSE (1821–1869) was a Scottish chemist and pharmacologist who was professor of chemistry and materia medica at the Dick Veterinary College in Edinburgh.

[3][4] In 1860 he is listed as resigning from the Edinburgh Rifle Volunteer Corps where he served alongside Robert Christison who acted as their Captain.

[7] This action, to which Dalzell was only very tangentially connected, appeared to take a toll upon his health, especially as the judges opened the possibility for a retrial.

He died on 29 July 1869 and is buried beneath a small obelisk in Dean Cemetery on the west side of the city.

The grave lies to the west side of the original cemetery in a section facing the pyramid on "Lords Row".
