David Landsborough (1779-1854) was an Ayrshire minister that had many pursuits; he studied algae, mosses, zoophytes, and fossils; he liked butterflies, spiders and moorland plants. Landsborough was employed to write a Popular History of British Seaweeds in 1849, and was then commissioned to prepare a similar Popular History of British Zoophytes or Corallines, which was published in 1852.
