S.A., then the leading art-teacher in Edinburgh. After serving for some time as an assistant to Mr Simson, during which he studied at the Trustees' Academy for three years under Sir William Allan, he settled in Glasgow as a portrait-painter, and occasionally visited other towns for the same purpose. In 1842 he paid a visit to Berwick-on-Tweed, where his father was a master- gunner: he settled there for some ten years. From Berwick he sent his first contribution to the exhibitions of the Scottish Academy, the Spinning-Wheel in 1845, and thenceforward was a regular contributor. On his return to Edinburgh, where he permanently settled, he was elected an Associate of The Royal Scottish Academy. His subjects were almost exclusively from domestic life, and are characterised by excellent colour and fine feeling, especially in the delineation of children and childish sports and amusements. He was elected full Academician in 1869, and died in Edinburgh. He is represented in the Scottish National Gallery by Asleep, and Sunshine, a larger picture, which was bequeathed to the Gallery by the late Mr J. Scott of Edinburgh.
