Francis M
Chrystal was the second son of the former Professor of
Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. He attended George
Watson's College, Edinburgh.
He
was one of the original members of the Old Edinburgh Club, and contributed
views of historic buildings and closes to the Club's
volumes. [Sc:
13 May 1944]
Notes
pasted into an old volume of the Book of the Old Edinburgh Club give a
slightly fuller account than above.
They
refer to FM Chrystal as Dr Chrystal, and to the fact that he graduated in
Edinburgh, and had since sailed twice round the world in a professional
capacity. These notes add:
"He
was one of the original members of the Old Edinburgh Club. Dr
Chrystal was an expert photographer and contributed views of historic
buildings and closes to the Club's volumes."
