He worked for the Inland Revenue as an inspector of taxes.[1] He made his debut in first-class cricket for Scotland against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1922. He played first-class cricket for Scotland until 1925, making six appearances.[2] He scored 96 runs across his six matches, at an average of 8.72, with a high score of 35.[3] With his slow left-arm orthodox bowling, he took 4 wickets with best figures of 2 for 29.[4] He later played minor counties cricket for Northumberland, making a single appearance against Durham in the 1932 Minor Counties Championship.[5] He served as president of the Scottish Cricket Union in 1954.[6] He died at Dundee in March 1977.
