Williams Alexander Smith was born 20 miles west of John O’Groats at Pennyland House near the small country town of Thurso of the stormy northeast coast of Scotland on 27th October, 1854; the eldest son in family of four of Major David Smith and Harriet Smith. As a boy, William Smith was educated at the Miller Institution, known as the “Thurso Academy” but following his father's death on a Business trip to China in 1867, his family moved to Glasgow.  In early January 1868, William Smith became a pupil in a private school, The Western Educational Institution, more widely known as “Burns’ and Sutherland’s School”.

Fraser & Co. were wholesa...

In sight of his thought he compared this attitude to where he was an Officer in the Volunteers as he could get many men to do exactly as he wanted but here in North Woodside Mission Hall, it was difficult as he struggled to get Boys to sit down and learn. He then got the idea that Boys could be trained as Volunteers and same he could teach them in oneness. Later on, he discussed the idea with his two friends James R, Hills and John B, Hill who were also Sunday school teachers and Volunteers like himself and the programmes was talked out with care and plans were made. Williams Smith summed up his aim, objective and rules in words; His Aim: “To dev...
