William Keddie

William Keddie FRSE (1809–1877) was a Scottish newspaper editor and scientist.

Although now a method taken for granted, he was one of the first to advocate teaching of Chemistry by each student conducting their own experiments (rather than purely observing the teacher).

He also formed the basis of running Scottish Sunday Schools, in a format which ran until the mid 20th century.

[6] He lived in later life at 5 India Street in Glasgow[7] He died suddenly on 26 July 1877 whilst holding a prayer meeting in Oban.

The grave lies on the northern-western edge of the upper plateau.
