A F MACFIE

Allan Fullarton and Isabell Rachel Macfie (Residents 1910-1912, owned until 1922)

Allan Fullarton Macfie was born in 1854 in Liverpool, a member of the Macfie family who built and ran sugar refineries in Greenock, Scotland and Liverpool. The Macfie Scottish estate was Langhouse, Inverkip, Renfrewshire, Scotland, undoubtably the source of the name of this new house.

​

Allan Fullarton married Isabel Rachel Tarbet in 1878 in Liverpool.

Macfie was a keen golfer. The 1885 Amateur Championship event was organised by the Royal Liverpool Golf Club prior to the first official championship in 1886. It was, for many years, regarded as an unofficial championship but in 1922, the R&A decided that Macfie, the winner of the event, should be added to the list of Amateur Championship winners. His interest in golf is demonstrated by the location of the house he had built in Chilbolton Avenue in 1910. Although he occupied the house himself only briefly, he continued to own the house until 1922.

​

Irene Rachel died in 1937. Allan Fullarton died in 1943 in St Andrews, Fife.
