Mackie, Sir Peter Jeffrey, first baronet

Mackie, Sir Peter Jeffrey, first baronet (1855–1924), distiller, was born on 26 November 1855 at Corsepatrick, St Ninians, Stirlingshire, son of Alexander Mackie (1821–1884), farmer, grain merchant, and distiller, and his wife, Janet Simpson-Brown. His grandfather and great-grandfather had been proprietors of the Dunmore Park estate in Stirlingshire; other earlier Mackies had worked in the wine and spirit trades. James Logan Mackie, an uncle, co-owned the Lagavulin distillery in Islay, and it was to his firm, James L. Mackie & Co., that Peter Mackie was recruited in 1878, some years after the end of his formal education at Stirling high school.

Outside the whisky business, and in line with his paternal ancestry, Mackie assumed the perspectives of the landed classes. In 1889 he married his cousin, Jessie Lockett Abercrombie, and their two surviving daughters, Isobel and Mary, took husbands from the lesser aristocracy (Logan, their only son, was killed in action outside Jerusalem in 1917). Estates (and accompanying magistracies) were acquired at Corraith, near Symington, Ayrshire, and Glenreasdell, in north Kintyre, the one at Corraith holding a modest library and an art collection of catholic taste.
