Alexander Frederick Richmond “Sandy†Wollaston was a British medical doctor, ornithologist, botanist, climber and explorer.
Wollaston was educated at Clifton College and studied medicine at King's College, Cambridge, graduating in 1896 and qualifying as a surgeon in 1903. However, he disliked the medical profession and preferred to spend his life on exploration and natural history. He travelled extensively, visiting Lapland, the Dolomites, Sudan and Japan, as well as participating in an expedition to the Ruwenzori Mountains of Uganda in 1905.
Wollaston was murdered by Douglas Potts, a student, at his rooms in Cambridge.
