Archie, Prof. Norman Dott was still at the Royal when I was a student nurse there in the early 60s. Needless to say, we were not on chatting terms, as he was the famous consultant while I was a lowly wee probationer ! ;-) Mary BC Canada > Paul, > There was a famous consultant surgeon in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary > called Professor Dott.

That would be Professor Norman Dott. I rather think he was still living 20-odd years later. He had a rather untidy-looking house at the foot of Chalmers Crescent. I suspect he was a "character"!
