| | Memoirs and portraits of 100 Glasgow men: 34. William Leckie Ewing [ebook chapter] / James MacLehose, 1886 |
 | | Leckie Ewing from taking a deep interest in the concerns of the great mercantile community where his lot was cast - its benevolent institutions, such as the Blind Asylum, the Highland Society, and others; its School of Art, and all kindred associations, engaged much of his thoughts. |
 | | Leckie Ewing was a Conservative, and he held his opinions strongly, grudging neither time nor money in the furtherance of principles which he considered essential. |
 | | Leckie Ewing in 1845 retired from business, and having purchased from his uncle, Buchanan Leckie, his life-interest in the old family estate of Broich, he made other additions to the property, which he now named Arngomery, built a comfortable mansion house, where, giving up his Glasgow connections, he resolved to settle. |
