Robert Sibbald
Sir Robert Sibbald (15 April 1641 – August 1722) was a Scottish physician and antiquary.
==Life==
He was born in Edinburgh, the son of David Sibbald (brother of Sir James Sibbald) and Margaret Boyd (January 1606 – 10 July 1672). Educated at the Royal High School and the Universities of Edinburgh, Leiden, and Paris, he took his doctor's degree at the University of Angers in 1662, and soon afterwards settled as a physician working in Edinburgh. He resided at "Kipps Castle" near Linlithgow.〔History of Livingston, William F hendrie〕 In 1667 with Sir Andrew Balfour he started the botanical garden in Edinburgh, and he took a leading part〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=http://www.rcpe.ac.uk/about/history.php )〕 in establishing the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, of which he was elected president in 1684.
In 1685 he was appointed the first professor of medicine at the University of Edinburgh. He was also appointed Geographer Royal in 1682, and his numerous and miscellaneous writings deal with historical and antiquarian as well as with botanical and medical subjects. He based many of his cartographical studies on the work of Timothy Pont. He is buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh.
The wild flower ''Sibbaldia procumbens'' 〔()〕 is named after him.
