He was considered an authority on poet Robert Burns and Mary, Queen of Scots.[2] BiographyHenderson was born in Lathones, Fife, Scotland in May 1844.[3] He was the second of 11 children born to farmer Archibald Henderson and his wife, Catherine (née Finlayson), both of Kincardine-in-Menteith, a village in Perthshire.[4] He attended the University of St Andrews and joined the staff of the Encyclopædia Britannica.[3] In 1914, the University of St Andrews awarded him an honorary LL.D.[2] He was an editor for several anthologies of poetry, including the works of Robert Burns.
