Robert Murdoch Smith
Major General Sir Robert Murdoch Smith KCMG (18 August 1835 – 3 July 1900) was a Scottish engineer, archaeologist and diplomat. He is known for his involvement with the excavation of antiquities found at Knidos and Cyrene, the telegraph to Iran, Persian antiquities bought for the Victoria and Albert Museum, and for serving as Director of the Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art.
==Early life==
Smith was born on 18 August 1835 in Bank Street, Kilmarnock. He was the second child of Jean (born Murdoch) and Dr Hugh Smith.〔(The Life of Major-General Sir Robert Murdoch Smith, K.C.M.G., Royal Engineers ), William Kirk Dickson, 1901, Blackwood〕 He attended Kilmarnock Academy and went on to spend four years at Glasgow University.〔 He found moral philosophy vague, but excelled at science, in which he was taught by a young Lord Kelvin.〔
Smith joined the army during the Crimean War and out of the 380 candidates who took the entry exam he came first. In September 1855, Smith was gazetted to Lieutenant and in the following October was chosen to lead a small group of Royal Engineers bound to help Charles Thomas Newton's archaeological mission to the remains of the ancient civilisation at Knidos in Turkey.〔
