Thomas Rodger (18 April 1832 – 6 January 1883) was a Scottish photographer. Rodger was one of the early photographers that developed the calotype method in his work. His house was used as a professional photography studio by him and it was where he got his photographic projects to grow and mature. Rodger’s exceptional photographic work has created an archive full of moments and places of the town, and can now be found in the Wardlaw Museum and at the University’s Library. Being the first professional photographer in the town he managed to capture and show the world the beauty of this special place. See also https://www.curious-sta.org/thomas-rodger/
