Kirk Duncanson
Scottish surgeon and botanist
Dr John Janet Kirk Duncanson (usually referred to as J J Kirk Duncanson) FRSE FRCPE (1846–1913) was a Scottish surgeon and botanist, running the Ear, Nose and Throat section of the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. The Kirk Duncanson Fellowship for Medical Research is named in his honour.[1] Some documents give his name as John James Kirk Duncanson, but John Janet better explains his use of J J and appears on most official documents. He was a noted amateur botanist which led to his being made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
