He was the second son of Samuel John Peploe and his wife Margaret (née Mackay), a brother for Willy, who had been born in August 1910, in Royan. His earliest memory was being held up to the window at night at the back of the family flat in the New Town to see a hostile Zeppelin dropping bombs onto Leith during a unique raid made in April 1916, which cost 11 lives. The boys lived with their parents in a first floor flat at 13 India Street and went to school at The Edinburgh Academy at the foot of the New Town and both thrived, Willy going up to Oxford to study History at Magdalen. Denis was equally academically bright, but thrived also on the sporting field, excelling at cricket, rugby and golf. In the art department AC Dodds (the one-armed inspiration for the art-master in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie) was lenient with the tawse and encouraged Denis Peploe, c.1918 Peploe junior in his ambitions to become a painter.
