Thomas Rodger 1833-83

The first professional photographer in St Andrews

He was taught the calotype process by Dr John Adamson, who induced him to make it his life's work.

His pictorial record of the town, its People, the fisher folk and eminent visitors, brought him great fame.

His favour with visiting royalty gave him journeys to London on royal photographic missions.

He built this house and in it the first photographic studio in the town.

Brewster, the Adamsons and Rodger together made St Andrews a world centre of photography.
