Why is "Sir" part of the article's title? RedWolf 01:51, May 5, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Books section

This section totally wrong. He published over 90 novels but not these two. Firstly, they were published 50 years before he was born and secondly, he was a novelist not an education expert. I am moving them to William Lyon Mackenzie--JBellis 15:31, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sources?

Several references are made to a "programme" and an "interviewer," but no source is given. What program? ----Michael K. Smith 19:09, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

The 'source' appears to be a Scottish TV website here: [1] Is this a copyvio?--JBellis 20:03, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Surname

There needs to be an explanation of why his surname was Mackenzie but his father's was Compton. JackofOz 06:49, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Interesting. If you look at the entry for Compton Makenzie's sister, Fay Compton, you'll see that she was christened Virginia Compton Mackenzie. She is, incidentally, described as "English". Does anyone know how Scottish the English born and educated Compton Mackenzie was? Millbanks (talk) 08:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
