CRAIGIE, William, meteorologist, born in Belnaboth, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 11 March, 1799 ;: died in Hamilton, Canada, in August, 1863. He studied for the medical profession at Mareschal College, Aberdeen, and at the Universities of Edinburgh and Dublin. He came to Canada, and in 1834 settled at Ancaster, Canada West, removing in 1845 to Hamilton. As a scholar, he had probably no superior in Canada, and held a high position as a scientific authority on meteorology, botany, horticulture, and agriculture. The results of his labors as a meteorologist were chronicled for many months in the columns of the Hamilton "Spectator," and he frequently lent assistance to a scientific journal published in connection with the Smithsonian institution. He was a member of the Board of arts and manufactures of Canada West, and of the Hamilton horticultural society.
