About the author

Rev. James Baikie (1866-1931) was a Scottish prolific writer, in the early 20th century, on subjects like astronomy, the bible and ancient history.

James Baikie married Constance Newman Smith in October 1903 and they had two sons, Hugh Edward, born 1906, who studied at New College from 1927-1930, and James Eric McAndrew, born 1909, who also became a minister, studying George Watson’s College. Not much is known of Constance although she was clearly a very competent artist, provided the illustrations for many of her husband’s books and had quite a prolific output. Constance was born on 16th October 1875 and died on 4th June 1960.
