Thomas Hopkirk
Thomas Hopkirk (1785–1841) was a Scottish botanist and lithographer.
==The Hopkirks==
He was descended from a gentry family who came from Hopekirk, near Hawick, by way of Dalkeith in Midlothian,to Dalbeth in Glasgow . His grandfather, also Thomas (1716–1781 ) had been a wealthy Glasgow merchant - a “Tobacco Lord” or “''Virginia Don''” - who had diversified into coal mining, brewing and banking. He had lived originally in a tenement in the High Street of Glasgow, called “''Hopkirk’s Land''”. David Dale rented the shop premises on the ground floor, where he operated as the first Glasgow agent of the Royal Bank of Scotland. Thomas then moved to a fine house at the corner of Argyle Street and Dunlop Street, which became the ''Buck’s Head Hotel''. (This was demolished in 1865; the later department store still displays the Buck on its roof.)
