The grave of Andrew Leslie of Coxlodge, Rosebank Cemetery

Andrew Leslie (1818–1894) was a Scottish shipbuilder.[1]

Born in 1818 in Garth, Dunrossness,[2] Shetland to Christian Allison and Robert Leslie, Leslie later moved to Aberdeen.[3] In 1853 Leslie relocated to Hebburn in North-East England where he founded the shipbuilding company A. Leslie and Company.[4] When Andrew Leslie retired in 1886, A. Leslie and Company merged with the locomotive manufacturer R and W Hawthorn to create Hawthorn Leslie and Company.[5]

In Hebburn, Leslie largely funded St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, which opened in 1873, and built other buildings including homes for his workers, schools for their children.[2] He was married to Margaret Leslie.[2] Leslie also lived at Coxlodge Hall in Gosforth[6]

He died on 27 January 1894 aged 75. He is buried in a family plot at Rosebank Cemetery in Edinburgh,[7] against the west wall, near the north-west corner.
