Hugh Gilzean-Reid

Hugh Gilzean Reid (1836-1911), was a Scottish journalist and politician. He was editor of the "Edinburgh Weekly News" and founded the Middlesbrough "Daily Gazette", the first halfpenny evening newspaper in the United Kingdom, in the early 1860s, and was elected to Parliament in 1885 in the English constituency of Aston Manor as a Liberal. His wife, Anne Gilzean Reid, was a founder member and president of the Women’s Liberal Association.

In 1897 Reid leased Dollis Hill House in North London, where he invited the writer Mark Twain to stay as a guest in 1900.
