About MeCharles John Guthrie (1849–1920) was a Scottish lawyer. The son of the Rev. Thomas Guthrie, editor of the Sunday Magazine, he was educated at Edinburgh University and in 1875 was admitted to the Faculty of Advocates. In 1907 he was appointed a judge of the court of session and created a life peer. Lord Guthrie was a member of the royal commissions on historical monuments in Scotland (1908). From 1910 to 1919 he was president of the Boys' Brigade of Great Britain and Ireland, and was a member of various antiquarian societies. When young he had been a friend of Robert Louis Stevenson and published in 1914 an appreciation of " Cummy," Stevenson's nurse.
