Eddie was born at Brechin in December 1891, where he was educated at Brechin High School. A club cricketer for Brechin, Forfarshire, and Peebles County, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Scotland against Ireland at Edinburgh in 1913.[1] Playing as a right-arm medium pace bowler in the Scottish team, he bowled a total of 26 wicketless overs across the match, for the cost of 90 runs. Batting twice in the match from the tail, he was dismissed for 4 runs in Scotland's first innings before being dismissed by Patrick Quinlan, while in their second innings he ended Scotland's innings of 228 for 8 not out on 2 runs, helping Scotland secure a draw.[2] He later served as the Provost of the City and Royal Burgh of Brechin,[3] having been Session Clerk at St Ninian's Church in Brechin from 1925 to 1950.[4] Eddie died at Brechin in September 1979.
