John Bruce-Lockhart


John Harold "J.H." Bruce Lockhart (4 March 1889 – 4 June 1956) was a Scottish cricketer and schoolmaster from the famous Bruce Lockhart family. His son Logie played Rugby Union for Scotland, while his brother Robert was a footballer. He was also the grandfather of Lord Bruce-Lockhart and great-grandfather of actor Dugald Bruce Lockhart.

He was born in Beith, North Ayrshire on 4 March 1889.

Starting education at Spier's School in Beith, he was introduced to rugby union and cricket. His father, R. Bruce Lockhart, was the headmaster of the Spier's School from 1888 to 1895, but shortly after moved on to Seafield House at Broughty Ferry.

Later R. Bruce-Lockhart became a schoolmaster of Eagle House School near Sandhurst and of his wife, Florence Stuart Macgregor, J.H. Bruce Lockhart was sent to Sedbergh School, where he was Head of School House, Captain of Football, and Captain of Cricket. After Sedbergh, he went on to Jesus College, Cambridge, where he read Modern Languages. There, he was a double Blue, for rugby football and cricket.

John Bruce Lockhart appeared twice for Scotland at first-class cricket level, against Ireland in 1910 and an All India side in 1911. In the match against Ireland he took eleven wickets, including six for 76 in the second innings. The rest of his first class games were played with Cambridge University, for whom he took over one hundred wickets. He was an international rugby footballer, representing Scotland as a fly half.
