David Maclagan

David Maclagan MD, FRSE, FRCSEd, FRCPE (8 February 1785 – 6 June 1865) was a prominent Scottish medical doctor and military surgeon, serving in the Napoleonic Wars.[1] Maclagan was born in Edinburgh on 8 February 1785, the son of Robert MacClaggan (d.1785), surgeon, and Margaret Smeiton, his second wife.[2] His father changed his name to Maclagan some time before David was born, to disassociate himself from various Jacobite connections.Too young to join the army as a surgeon, he travelled to London and studied and practiced at St George's Hospital.The substantial grave lies against the north wall of the original cemetery (backing onto the northern extension).
