Norman MacColl

Norman MacColl (21 August 1843 – 16 December 1904) was a Scottish man of letters, known as a Hispanist and editor of the Athenæum.

Born on 31 August 1843 at 28 Ann Street, Edinburgh, he was the only child of Alexander Stewart MacColl and his wife Eliza Fulford of Crediton.

His father was a classicist and kept a school in Edinburgh; he was brought up at home with his first cousin, Alice Gaunter, who married James R.

[4] MacColl ventured into society comparatively little, but occasionally visited Westland Marston's Sunday parties.

He went in later life to the Athenæum Club, was one of Leslie Stephen's "Sunday Tramps", and played golf.

[1] MacColl died unmarried, suddenly at his residence, 4 Campden Hill Square, Kensington, on 16 December 1904, from heart failure.
