David Anderson of Moredun. By A. Campbell Swinton 
of Kimmerghame. 
Mr. David Anderson of Moredun, who died in Edinburgh in his 
ninetieth year, was the eldest son of Mr. Samuel Anderson of 
Moredun, banker in this city, the head of a family many members 
of which have been well known and highly respected. Mr. 
Anderson was long a leading partner in the banking house of 
Sir William Forbes & Company, and when that firm was, in 1838, 
merged in the establishment now known as the Union Bank of 
Scotland, he continued for many years an active director of the 
new body. There was no citizen of Edinburgh, whose generous 
aid was more readily given, to every object which commended itself

never took an active part in its proceedings. He was, however, a 
man of cultivated taste and varied information, whose warm heart 
and genial disposition made him a universal favourite among a large 
circle of friends. And as one of the Trustees of Fettes College, 
he showed his interest in the higher education of the country by 
endowing two scholarships of the annual value of <£100 each, with 
a view of enabling distinguished pupils of that school to prosecute 
their studies at one or other of the English universities.

city, when he entered the British Linen Company Bank, and 
remained in connection with it for a period of fifty-five years, much 
esteemed for his probity and business habits. Many a journey he 
undertook to bring gold from London for the bank’s purposes, and 
to take it back when no longer required. 
He had a kindly feeling for the poor and helpless, and was
