William Lennie

"[2] Although remembered as a grammarian, all contemporary records list him as a "teacher of Geography" living at Alison Square.

[3] In the 1830s, Peter Bullions, another Scottish grammarian, revised The Principles of English Grammar book and sold it in the United States.

[4] Only later in life is Lennie listed as a "teacher of English", then living at 10 Nicolson Street.

[5] Around this time he inherited Ballochneck House near Drymen presumably from either his father or uncle.

His will, with other bequests, created four Lennie bursaries at Edinburgh University, for students seeking a literary education, that were notionally loans.
