Sir David Percival Dalbreck Wilkie (1882–1938) was among the first of the new breed of professors of surgery appointed at a relatively young age to develop surgical research and undergraduate teaching. At the University of Edinburgh, he established a surgical research laboratory from which was to emerge a cohort of young surgical researchers destined to become the largest dynasty of surgical professors yet seen in the British Isles.[1] He is widely regarded as the father of British academic surgery.[2]
He lived at 56 Manor Place in Edinburgh's West End.[3]
He died on 28 August 1938 and is buried on a prominent corner of the northern Victorian extension to Dean Cemetery in western Edinburgh.
Family
He was married to Charlotte Anne Erskine Middleton.
