Taken from Wikipedia:-

" In 1882, St Andrew's Ambulance Association was formed in Glasgow by a group of local doctors and businessmen who were concerned by the rapid increase in accidents resulting from traffic and modern machinery. First aid and casulty transportation classes were conducted and Scotland's first ambulance was bought by the Association in April 1882, which served Glasgow and the surrounding area providing first aid and transportation to hospital to accident victims. In the following years, the number of calls the Association responded to grew so as by 1886 there were six ambulances stationed in towns throughout Scotland.

In order to make teaching more uniform, in 1891 the Association published Dr George T. Beaton's <sic> Ambulance Hand-book that provided a conscise overview of anatomy, physiology, injuries, first aid treatment and casulty transportation. The book remained the Association standard text for over 40 years as it was updated and republished.

At the turn of the century, the Association underwent two major changes: In 1899, a Royal Charter was granted by Queen Victoria that changed the Association from a collection of individuals to a legally recognised single entity; in 1904, the St Andrew's Ambulance Corps was formed to bring together the various ambulance groups around the country under a single administration......... "

Dr Beatson, later Sir George Beatson, was an eminent 19th Century Scottish physician.
