Life
Although mainly linked to Edinburgh and Midlothian he appears to have an Aberdeen connection, and may have been from there. He exhibited between 1880 and 1923.
He lived at 17 Torphichen Street during his operational years but disappears from Edinburgh directories in later life. He was married to Jessie Ramage (1851–1913), daughter of the artist James Ramage (1824–1887).
He died on 30 March 1929 aged 86. He is buried in the Grange Cemetery in southern Edinburgh. The grave lies midway along the eastern path, facing east onto the path.
