Banchory Farmer Friendly Society, fl 1776 - 1866
Biographical notes:
Alexander Thomson of Banchory-Devenick (1792-1868), a graduate twice of Marischal College (MA 1816, LLD 1855) pursued a variety of subjects including law, mathematics, language and literature, botany, geology and zoology. He travelled widely with his family in Europe, especially in Italy and France. His very wide-ranging interests, particularly on Victorian social and educational issues, are well represented in his library of c. 1600 books, and 6,000 pamphlets, bequeathed to the Free Church College, Aberdeen, after his death, and now deposited as a named collection in the University Library.
