SIBBALD, SIR ROBERT (1641-1722) , Scottish physician and antiquary, was born in Edinburgh on the 15th of
April
  1641. Educated at Edinburgh, Leiden and Paris, he took his`
doctor
 's degree at Angers in 1662, and soon afterwards settled as a physician in Edinburgh. In 1667 with Sir Andrew
Balfour
  he started the botanical
garden
  in Edinburgh, and he took a leading
part
  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
  in the university. He was also appointed geographer-royal in 1682, and his numerous and miscellaneous writings deal effectively with historical and antiquarian as well as botanical and medical subjects. He died in August 1722.
Amongst
Sibbald
 's historical and antiquarian works may be mentioned A History Ancient and
Modern
  of the Sheriffdoms of Fife and Kinross (Edinburgh, 1710, and Cupar, 1803), An Account of the Scottish
Atlas
  (folio, Edinburgh, 1683), Scotia illustrata (Edinburgh, 1684) and Description of the Isles of Orkney and
Shetland
  (folio, Edinburgh, 1711 and 1845). The Remains of Sir Robert
Sibbald
 , containing his autobiography, memoirs of the Royal College of Physicians, portion of his literary correspondence and account of his manuscripts, was published at Edinburgh in 1833.
