After he was freed, Edmonstone came to Glasgow with his former master, Charles Edmonstone. From there he moved to Edinburgh (37 Lothian Street), where he taught taxidermy to students at the University of Edinburgh, including Charles Darwin.[1][2] Edmonstone gave Charles Darwin inspiring accounts of tropical rain forests in South America and may have encouraged Darwin to explore there. The taxidermy Darwin learnt from Edmonstone helped him greatly during the voyage of the Beagle.[1][2] Edmonstone is regarded as one of the "100 Great Black Britons"[3].
