Wight Chiropractic Clinic

The first chiropractor to come to Scotland was Dr Ben Bolt who arrived in 1913 from Canada and set up practice in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city. Several years later in his busy practice he successfully "treated" a Mrs Jane Wight for severe and chronic neuroanesthesia (now called depressive neurosis accompanying a general muscular weakness).

Chiropractic was successful with her where all medical treatment had failed. Mrs Wight, both relieved and inspired by what had happened, enrolled her two sons, Leslie, who was in his first year of electrical engineering at the Heriot-Watt College, and David, still at Daniel Stewart's School in Edinburgh, at the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, USA.

On graduation in 1924 the brothers returned to Edinburgh and set up practice at 32 Great King Street and then in 1935 moved to the practice "home" for the next 50 years at 12 Walker Street.
