Abstract
The paper reviews what is known of Peter Lowe’s surgical education, practice and activities before he obtained the Royal Charter in the last year of the sixteenth century, founding what became the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. It attempts to separate probable fact from accumulated fiction then discusses briefly Lowe’s possible contributions to the contents of the Charter.
