Frederick Pullar

Frederick Pattison Pullar FRSE FRGS FRSGS (20 January 1875–16 February 1901) was a 19th century Scottish meteorologist who served as Sir John Murray's right-hand for his short career.

He was born in Bridge of Allan near Stirling on 20 January 1875 the son of the industrialist Laurence Pullar and his wife, Ellen Ferguson Pattison.

[1] In 1897 Frederick's father Laurence Pullar commissioned his friend, Sir John Murray to undertake an entire survey of all Scottish fresh water lochs.

[2] This was on condition that Sir John employed his then 22 year old son Frederick to assist in the task.

The results of his work and his measuring device brought about the publication of the Bathymetrical Survey of the Fresh Water Lochs of Scotland in 1910.
