Alexander Adam Inglis (1) Early work Edinburgh Public Library has a collection of over 160 photographs and an album of photographs taken by Alexander Adam Inglis, from 1854 onwards – long before he first appeared in the Edinburgh trade directories as a professional photographer. [This date seems suspect, unless there was an earlier Alexander Adam Inglis than the one referred to as Alexander Adam Inglis (1) on this page. He wound have been aged about seven in 1854] |

His wife, Christian Caird Inglis, described her occupation as Photographer's Wife. [1891 Census] Perhaps this was a full time occupation! The Inglis family continued to work from Rock House, as photographers until 1949. |
