Basic Biographical Details

Name: George Lindsay Legge
Designation:  
Born: 14 January 1874
Died: 13 March 1905
Bio Notes: George Lindsay Legge was born in Peterhead on 14 Jan 1874, the son of Rev Alexander Legge, the Congregational minister there and his wife Isabella Macdonald Leith. Nothing is yet known of Legge's early years and training. He was taken into partnership by John Daniel Swanston (b. Dundee 1868) c.1896, Swanston having commenced private practice the previous year at 196 High Street, Kirkcaldy. The practice was short-lived as Legge left Kirkcaldy to take up the post of Burgh Surveyor in Kingussie in 1903. His stay in Kingussie was also brief as he died on 13 March 1905 at Kilconquhar Manse, his father having by then moved there to become Church of Scotland minister.
