Biography
He was born near Aberdour, Aberdeenshire, the son of a small farmer. By hard study in the evening, after his day's work on the farm was finished, he qualified himself for entrance at the University of Aberdeen, and after graduating as MA he attended the Divinity classes with the idea of entering the ministry. He qualified as a schoolmaster and went to Canada before beginning his association with Chambers.
