Biography

McAlpine was born in Garscadden, Glasgow, on 19 August 1890,{{r|thepeerage}} the only son and eldest of three children of civil engineering contractor Sir Robert McAlpine, 1st Baronet (1847–1934) and his second wife Florence Margaret Palmer (1850–1910).{{r|Walton1999}}

He graduated in 1913 with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery from Glasgow University. During World War I he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps and then as a Surgeon Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, where he was mentioned in dispatches. After taking his Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) in 1923 and working in junior hospital posts, he was appointed neurologist to the Middlesex Hospital in 1924.{{r|SheremataSheremata2010}} His students at Middlesex Hospital included renowned neurologist Paul Sandifer.{{r|munksroll}}

McAlpine served as a Brigadier in the Royal Army Medical Corps as an adviser in neurology to the South East Asia Command during World War II, and was mentioned in dispatches again.{{r|generals}}

In 1953, McAlpine was the leading light in the formation of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain. His book Multiple Sclerosis (1955) was recognised as the authoritative study of the disorder and was revised and updated in subsequent editions.{{r|scribd}}
