<p class="just">After studying at the University of Edinburgh, Macduff in 1842 became parish minister of Kettins, Forfarshire; in 1849 of St. St. Madoes, Perthshire; and in 1855 of Sandyford, Glasgow. His 31 hymns appeared in his <em>Altar Stones</em>, 1853, and were also included with his later poems in his <em>The Gates of Praise</em>, 1876. In 1857 General Assembly appointed him to its Hymnal Committee. Macduff received his D.D. degree from the University of Glasgow in 1862, and about the same time also from the University of New York. He retired from pastoral work in 1871, and in 1887 was living in Chislehurst, Kent.</p>
