Sir William MacKinnon was born in Campbeltown and trained as a grocer. In 1847 MacKinnon went to India, where he eventually founded the British India Steam Navigation Company. He developed a vast trade around the Indian Ocean, extending to the east coast of Africa between Aden and Zanzibar, which was chartered in 1888 as the Imperial British East Africa Company. In 1891, he founded the Free Church of Scotland: East African Scottish Mission. He also founded the independent Keil School in Dumbarton. He was made a baronet in 1889. On his death, he was buried in Clachan, Argyll.
