He was born, the first son to a Free-Church minister and his wife, Helen Jane Masterson, in 1875. Raised in the village of Pathhead on the Fife coast, he attended school in nearby Kirkcaldy until 1888, when the family left Fife for Glasgow where his father took up a new ministry.

During this time he wrote prodigiously and several of his stories and essays were published.
