Life

The grave of John Brown Abercromby, Grange Cemetery, Edinburgh

Although mainly linked to Edinburgh and Midlothian he appears to have an Aberdeen connection, and may have been from there.[2] He exhibited between 1880 and 1923.

He lived at 17 Torphichen Street during his operational years[3] but disappears from Edinburgh directories in later life. He was married to Jessie Ramage (1851–1913), daughter of the artist James Ramage (1824–1887).[4]

He died on 30 March 1929 aged 86. He is buried in the Grange Cemetery in southern Edinburgh.[4] The grave lies midway along the eastern path, facing east onto the path.
