Andrew Halliday Douglas

He was one of the founders of the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society with Peter David Handyside.

In 1869 he was elected President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in succession to Dr John Moir, his father-in-law.

[3] He retired in 1893 due to health problems but some winters spent in the south of France improved him.

The grave is marked by a large but simple monument and stands in the south-east section.

His son Rev Prof Andrew Halliday Douglas (1864-1902) moved to Canada to teach Apologetics at Knox College, Toronto, but died young following the removal of his appendix.
