Baxter (1866-1936) was one of the original members of St. Johnstone F.C. He wrote at length of such golf luminaries as Tom Morris, Rev. J.G. McPherson, Allan Robertson, Col. Boothby, and various clubmakers. He was the Magistrate of Perth from 1921 to 1936, and was particularly interested in the recreational facilities of the city and South Insch as a sports center; he spent much time researching local history and wrote a number of volumes on Perth.
