Edwin Scrymgeour (28 July 1866 – 1 February 1947) was a British politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP ) for Dundee in Scotland.[1] House of Commons on a prohibitionist ticket, as the candidate of the Scottish Prohibition Party . He was affectionately known as Neddy Scrymgeour .[2]
A native of Dundee , he was educated at West End Academy. He was a pioneer of the Scottish temperance movement and established his party in 1901 to further that aim.[1]
In 1896 he is listed as a clerk, living at 42 Kings Road in Dundee.[3]
He served on Dundee City Council and began contesting elections in the 1908 Dundee by-election , which saw Winston Churchill first elected for Dundee, and Scrymgeour continued to fight at every election thereafter and increased his vote. That was in part because of his popularity, generally left-wing sympathies and history with the labour movement. Churchill's stance against suffragettes may have had an impact in a city that had many women as breadwinners and many men as "kettle-boilers" (househusbands ).[4]
In 1910 he was living at 92 Victoria Road in Dundee.[5]
In the 1922 election , Scrymgeour and the Labour candidate, E. D. Morel , jointly ousted Winston Churchill , who had represented the city as a Liberal (to then a Coalition Liberal).[6] 1931 general election ,[1] Florence Horsbrugh .
Out of Parliament, Scrymgeour worked as an evangelical Chaplain at East House and Maryfield Hospital in Dundee.[1]
He died at his home in Dundee on 1 February 1947,[7]
