The Hon William Penney, Lord Kinloch (1801–1872) was a Scottish judge, and Senator of the College of Justice. LifeThe son of William Penney, a manufacturer at Castlepens Wynd in Glasgow,[1] and Elizabeth, daughter of David Johnston, D.D., North Leith, was born in Glasgow and studied Law at Glasgow University. He entered the office of Alexander Morrison, a solicitor, and then spent some time in an accountant's office.[2] In 1824 Penney was called to the Scottish bar, and gained a practice, mainly in commercial cases. In politics he was a conservative. In 1845 he was working in Edinburgh as an advocate, living at 24 Great King Street in Edinburgh's Second New Town.[3] He was raised to the bench on the recommendation of Lord Derby, in May 1858, on the death of Robert Handyside, Lord Handyside, taking the title of "Lord Kinloch". When a vacancy occurred in the inner house of the court of session, on Lord Curriehill's death, Penney succeeded to the post in 1868.[2] Penney died at Hartrigge House, near Jedburgh, on 31 October 1872.[2] He is buried in St Cuthbert's Churchyard in Edinburgh.[4] The grave lies on a boundary wall in the southern section. His wife, Louisa Jane Campbell (1814-1887) was buried independently at Dean Cemetery. WorksPenney was the author of religious works in prose and verse:[2]
