      text: "Born Gallowhill, Wick 1809, died 18 February 1886. Set up a printing press in 1832, probably taking over W. Todd's press. Published “The John O'Groat Journal and Caithness Monthly” 1st February 1836. Within 16 months it was a weekly. From 1836-42 it was edited by Benjamin Miller Kennedy. It warmly adopted political reform, free trade, temperance, and non intrusion. Kennedy went to Arbroath and after an interlude was succeeded as editor by John Mackie of Fraserburgh about 1845. In 1850 Mackie broke away and started “The Northern Ensign”."
