INDIVIDUAL PRACTITIONER
-
Alston, Charles (Dr)
Physician and botanist
(1683 - 1760)
The third son of Thomas Alston, a physician of Thrinacre Milne and Eddlewood. Alston began studying at Glasgow University in 1700, but his father's death in 1703 left the family impoverished and so he decided not to graduate. The Duchess of Hamilton, however, recognizing his promise, arranged for him to receive some legal training under a writer to the signet, James Anderson, in Edinburgh. Three years later the Duchess employed Alston as her 'principal servant' in her household at Hamilton.
