[1][2] There are two individuals called James Lind who were Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh at this time.
His younger cousin James Lind was born in 1736 and was a physician with interests in natural sciences and botany.
He became a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1811 and became a mate on an 'Indiaman' sailing ship in that same year.
His photograph was added to the Club album and his name was included in printed list of members for that year.
However, he did not attend any dinners and the minutes from October 1895 record that after due consideration Dr. Peddie had declined to become a member.
