Dr Handyside Edgar (sometimes written Handasyde Edgar) FRSE (1754-1806) was a Scottish physician who settled in Jamaica as both doctor and plantation owner. On his death a famous Scottish legal case was heard debating the legal responsibilities of debts raised in one country being settled in another. He appears to have been a descendant of General Roger Handasyd an early governor of Jamaica. His more ancient ancestry can be traced back to Edgar of Wedderlie, who held lands from the Earls of Dunbar, during the reign of Malcolm III of Scotland.
