Andrew Grant

Biography

Andrew Grant brought to Parliament a long view of public service, attentive to the quiet needs of rural districts while remaining ready to take part in national debate. His voice, seasoned by years of constituency work, spoke often for better roads, hospitals, and schools, and for the steady labour of those who kept towns and countryside running.

In Warriston he was known as much for his kindness as for his convictions, and when he died in 1924 the community honoured a friend who had never tired of listening to their concerns nor of doing what he could to answer them.
