Scots doctors and their compatriots in the service of eighteenth-century Czars.
Scots doctors, several of them from one Dumfriesshire village - Lochmaben - played a key role in eighteenth-century Russia, several as personal physicians to the Czars. Some gained fame and fortune through their clinical skills, others through their acceptance in high society, others as a result of their contribution to the establishment of civilian and military health services and medical education, and a few through their influence on the Imperial and Privy Councils.
