Baronet of the United Kingdom London Gazette 1 January 1926: The Right Honourable Sir Henry Craik, K.C.B., M.A., LL.D., M.P., Member of Parliament for Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities, 1906, and for the Scottish Universities since December, 1918. Secretary of the Scottish Education Department, 1885-1904.
‘For political and public service.’
K.C.B. (Civil) London Gazette 25 June 1897.
The Rt. Hon Sir Henry Craik, Bt., was born in Glasgow on 18 October 1846, the son of Rev. James Craik, D.D., Moderator of the General Assembly, Church of Scotland, and was educated at the High School, Glasgow; at Glasgow University; and Balliol College, Oxford. He entered the Education Department in 1870, and during 1885-1904 was Secretary of the Scottish Education Department. For his services he was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1887, and advanced to a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1897. Following his retirement in 1904 he was elected a Member of Parliament in 1906 for the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen, and remained an M.P. until his death.
During the Great War Sir Henry volunteered for service as a Special Constable, attaining the rank of Sergeant, of which he said, ‘I do not know that I ever valued any promotion more!’. He was able to claim that he never missed a roll-call, except when detained at the House, and that he had been out in every air raid over London. He retired from the Special Constabulary in 1919.
Sir Henry was made a Privy Councillor of Great Britain in January 1918, and was created a Baronet of the United Kingdom (Craik of Kennoway) in the 1926 New Year’s Honours’ List. The author of several books, including, Selections from Swift, 1893; English Prose Selections, 1892-96; A Century of Scottish History, 1901; and Impressions of India, 1908, he died on 21 September 1927 and was succeeded to the baronetcy by his son, George Lillie Craik, M.C.
