Joseph Laing Waugh (1868–1928) was a Scottish businessman and writer. Waugh was born in Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway on 17 April 1868. He moved to Edinburgh around 1890 where he ran a successful wallpaper business. He lived at 3 Comiston Drive in the south-west of the city. His great love however was writing. His work is sentimental in nature and largely consists of humorous biographies of characters from Dumfries and Galloway.
