Mackenzie's Edinburgh Georgian townhouse was at 24 Heriot Row, in the New Town.[6]

In 1870 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh his proposer being his legal colleague, Charles Neaves, Lord Neaves.[7]

Mackenzie died at Maulside, Dulwich Wood Park, Norwood, outside London, England, on 19 May 1875.[1][8] Due to ill health he had taken a leave of absence from his duties at the College of Justice a short time before his death.[1] He is buried in Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh, Scotland. The grave lies on the western wall in the section known as "Lord's Row".
