		A Scot by birth, the son of James McNab (one-time Curator of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh), W. McNab came to Dublin in 1872 as successor to William Thiselton-Dyer in the chair of botany at the Royal College.

		William McNab (1780-1848) was employed in the Royal Gardens, Kew (1801-1810), and the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh (1810-1848).

	Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
		Edinburgh's first botanical garden was established next to Holyrood Palace in 1670 and then five years later at a site which is now Waverley Station.
		Collections from both sites were then transferred to the Leith Walk Botanic Garden, near the present McDonald Road, in 1763 after garden keepers raised concerns about the effect of the city's pollution on the plants.
		However, the garden again succumbed to urban expansion and was moved to its present home in Inverleith Row in 1820.
