Robert Wylie Hill
Robert Wylie Hill was a Scottish importer and retailer who founded the Wylie Hill department store in Glasgow.
In the mid 1870s, Wylie Hill was in south America on an expedition to collect exotic birds. It was probably then that he met Neil Ross McKinnon of British Guiana, who was of Scottish descent, and who later entrusted Wylie Hill with the sale in Britain of his valuable collection of the postage stamps of the colony that included the famous British Guiana 1c magenta stamp.
