He was born in Edinburgh on 4 December 1863.〔The year of his birth in the certificate is indistinct and has been read mistakenly as '1868' in his ''Who was Who'' entry, and as '1866' elsewhere.〕 His father was John Moffat, a photographer, and his mother was Sophia Maria Knott.〔Births, marriages and deaths information available at the General Register Office for Scotland, Scotland's People Centre in Edinburgh, and also at http://scotlandspeople.gov.uk. .〕 He was educated at Edinburgh Collegiate School in 27-28 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh. Moffat studied musical composition in Berlin for five years under Ludwig Bussler. He remained in Berlin for another six years writing for German music publishing firms.〔Who was Who.
