Charles Stuart of Dunearn
Charles Stuart of Dunearn FRSE (1745–1826) was a Scottish minister who went on to co-found the Royal Society of Edinburgh and to be President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
He was born at Dunearn House near Burntisland in Fife in 1745 the son of James Stuart of Binend, later Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and his first wife, Elizabeth Drummond, daughter of Dr Adam Drummond.
He originally trained as a minister and was licensed by the Church of Scotland in London in August 1772. He was ordained in Cramond Kirk on 30 September the following year under the patronage of Lady Glenorchy. He resigned and left Cramond in May 1776, creating in 1781 an independent Anabaptist church in Edinburgh, which was somewhat short-lived.
In 1777 he inherited his father's estates of Dunearn and Binend in Fife.
He retrained as a doctor, studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh. He was President of the Royal Medical Society (a student organisation) in 1780 gaining his doctorate (MD) in 1781. He lived and practised from 18 Nicolson Street in Edinburgh's South Side. During his period (in 1783) he was one of the joint founders of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
From 1798 to 1800 he was editor of the Edinburgh Quarterly Review. He was also Governor of the Edinburgh Orphan Hospital at Shakespeare Square at the east end of Princes Street.
Flourishing and popular as a physician he was elected President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in 1806 in succession to Dr Thomas Spens.
He died at home 41 George Square, Edinburgh on 28 May 1826. He is buried with his parents in Greyfriars Kirkyard. The distinctive tomb lies against the eastern boundary wall.
