Sir Daniel Wilson FRSC was a Scots Canadian archaeologist, ethnologist and author. He was born in Edinburgh and educated at the Royal High School.

As a young man, Wilson went to London, and worked in the studio of J.M.W. Turner. He returned to Edinburgh in 1842, and was appointed Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1845.

Quotes by Daniel Wilson (?)

“When Scottish archaeologists... fall to discussing the weary battle of Mons Graupius... and like threadbare questions, they are but threshing straw from which the very chaff has long since been gleaned to the last husk, and can only bring well-deserved ridicule on their pursuits.”
― Daniel Wilson, The Archaeology and Prehistoric Annals of Scotland
