Sir George Anderson (1845-1923)
George Anderson was born in Fraserburgh in 1845. He became treasurer of the Bank of Scotland in 1898. He was the first person from Fraserburgh knighted by King Edward VII in 1905 for his outstanding work in the banking world. The former Bank of Scotland building at the corner of Frithside Street was named Anderson House after him. He gifted bequests to Fraserburgh: the clocks in the steeple of the South United Free Church (now Fraserburgh South Church), the stained glass windows in the High Kirk in honour of his parents and the Gold Dux Medal he donated to Fraserburgh Academy. His wife gifted the Bishop's Chair and Credence Table to St Peter's Episcopal Church in 1909.
