He initially studied at the board of manufacturing in Edinburgh and then the Royal Scottish Academy schools under William McTaggart and George Paul Chalmers. He travelled throughout Europe to paint, where the Netherlands and Italy were particularly favourites.

For a long part of his live he actually lived in the Netherlands. Towards the end of his life he lived again in Scotland, where he lived in Dumfries and Galloway and where he is also mentioned in Corstorphine in 1896. He died on 25 September 1913 whilst in Ledaig, Argyll.
