John Annan Bryce

John Annan Bryce

John Annan Bryce (1841 – 25 June 1923) was a Scottish politician.

The son of James Bryce and Margaret Young, he was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and at the University of Glasgow, where he graduated with a Master of Arts. Bryce was Member of Parliament (MP) for Inverness Burghs from 1906 to 1918. He was further chairman of the Rangoon Chamber of Commerce.

On 2 August 1888, he married Violet L'Estrange, daughter of Captain Champagne L'Estrange. They had two sons and two daughters.

In 1920 he bought from the British War Office Garnish (Garinish) Island, also known as Ilnacullin, close to Glengarriff, Co Cork, Ireland. Assisted by landscape architect and horticulturist Harold Peto he created, 1911 to 1914, the sub-tropical gardens which to this day (now maintained by the Irish government) remain a notable attraction.

He died in 1923.
