The son of John Adair Craigie of the Bengal Civil Service, he was born in British India at Gorakhpur.[1] He was educated in England at Harrow School.[2] Craigie joined the British Army in September 1861, when he purchased the rank of cornet in the 2nd Dragoon Guards.[3] He purchased the rank of lieutenant in December 1864,[4] before retiring from active service in May 1870.[5] Craigie became a student at the Inner Temple in April 1870,[1] and in August of the same year he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Gloucestershire at Lord's.[6] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed without scoring in the MCC first innings by Robert Miles, while in their second innings following-on he was dismissed by W. G. Grace for the same score.[7] He was called to the bar to practice as a barrister in January 1873.[1] Craigie died at his residence at Putney in June 1907.[8]

His daughter Violet Mary was the first wife of Oscar Wilde's son Vyvyan Holland.[9]
