David Page was born on 24 August 1814 at Lochgelly, Fifeshire, where his father was a mason and builder. After the parochial school, he was sent, at age 14, to the University of St Andrews, to be educated for the ministry; but when his university course was over he supported himself by lecturing and journalism, acting for a time as editor of a Fifeshire newspaper. He was elected Fellow of the Geological Society in 1853, was president of the Geological Society of Edinburgh in 1863 and 1865, and was a member of other societies. In 1867 the university of St. Andrews honoured him with the degree of LL.D. In July 1871 he was appointed professor of geology in the Durham University College of Physical Science, based at Newcastle upon Tyne.
