Born in Forfarshire, Scotland, in 1732, Dempster made significant contributions to various fields throughout his illustrious career. As a writer, Dempster is best known for his literary works, which often focused on agricultural topics. His most famous publication, "An Essay on the Culture of Flax," published in 1762, revolutionized the flax industry in Scotland and beyond.
