LifeHe was born in Aberdeen in 1816 the son of John Knott (b.1754), a music teacher, and his wife Sophia Pelham. His family (including a sister Sophia M. Knott and brother Lavernor Knott) appear to have moved to 2 St Patrick Square in Edinburgh around 1830.[2] In 1839 Knott is listed as a portrait painter living at 2 St Patrick Square in Edinburgh’s South Side.[3] As the main householder it must be presumed that his father was now dead. On 3 May 1878 he is listed as a Master Mason of the Humber Lodge, at that date being affiliated also as a member of the Celtic Lodge (2 Brodie’s Close on the Lawnmarket).[4] On 1 December 1879 a page in William Gladstone’s diary indicates that he wrote to Tavernor Knott from Taymouth Castle shortly before visiting Edinburgh.[5] This appears to have led to a commission as a portrait of Gladstone is amongst his known works.[6] In later life Tavernor’s address was 32 York Place in Edinburgh’s First New Town.[7] The building was the former home and studio of Sir Henry Raeburn. He died at 32 York Place in 1890. FamilyHe was uncle to Prof Cargill Gilston Knott. Known PortraitsSee [8]
