Was born on 21st September 1828, and died on 31st August 1892. He studied at the University of Glasgow, where he took a high place in the class of Philosophy. He then studied MEdicine, in which he graduated with the hightest distinction in 1853. He immediately afterwards went to Paris to continue his studies. During the Crimean War he worked for a time in hospitals in London and then went out to the seat of war, where he was appointed a Staff-Surgeon in the Army Medical Service, with the rank of Major, and bore the hardships in the Crimean campaign until peace came in April 1856. In 1859 he was appointed to the Chair of Surgery in Anderson College, Glasgow, and ten years later he succeeded Sir Joseph Lister as Professor of Surgery in the University of Glasgow, an appointment he held until the time of his death. He was knighted for his eminent services in 1887, and was appointed Surgeon-in-ordinary to Queen Victoria in Scotland. The University of St. Andrews honoured Sir George with a doctorate of Laws (LL.D.) in 1892. Dr. George H. B. MacLeod married, in 1859, Sophia, daughter of Henry Houldsworth, one of the merchant princes of Glasgow (descended from the Houldsworths of Coltness), [See MacLeod: THE BEGINNINGS OF THE HOULDSWORTHS (1938).] [For a fuller biographical sketch of Sir George H. B. MacLeod see THE BRAVE SONS OF SKYE (pp. 150-2), based on a Memoir read by his son, the Rev. William H. MacLeod, minister of Buchanan, to the Royal Society of Edinburgh on 16th January 1893.
