It is conceivable that Griffin may have gained some laboratory training under Thomson though Michael Moss, archivist at the University of Glasgow, is of the opinion that he would have received a “sufficient grounding in practical chemistry” at the Andersonian Institution, citing James “Paraffin” Young as evidence of the calibre of student then emerging.
