JOHN LEITCH
JOHN LEITCH, of Kilmardinny, of Leitch & Smith, West India merchants. - Mr. Leitch's town address was Spreull's Land, Trongate. About the beginning of this century Mr. Leitch purchased Kilmardinny from the widow of William Colquhoun of Garscadden, and resided there till his death. In 1833 the estate was purchased by our respected townsman, William Brown, the descendant of an old Glasgow family. In 1846 it was again sold to a Gibraltar merchant, William Whyte, who, before his death, sold it to the late Robert Dalglish, long M.P. for the city. Mr. Dalglish's representatives have now sold it to Mr. Thomas Reid.
