His grandfather was the Rev Thomas Macknight, DD minister of the Old Church, Edinburgh, and Moderator of the General Assembly in 1769, and the author of “Harmony of the Gospels” and other works. Mr Macknight was called to the Bar in 1841, but does not appear to have gone into practice. He was a good classic scholar and modern linguist, and he had also no mean skill with the violin. He was at one time a member of Edinburgh Town Council, and of the City Parochial Board, Edinburgh, and he on more than one occasion aspired to Parliamentary honours as an advanced Liberal.
