Basic Biographical Details Name: | Leslie Grahame-Thomson & Associates | Designation: | | Born: | After 1950 | Died: | 1972 or 1973 | Bio Notes: | In 1949 Leslie Grahame-Thomson (born 1896) married as his second wife Coline (Collean) Helen Elizabeth MacDougall. She became Clan Chief as Madame MacDougall of MacDougall in 1953 and, on the instigation of Lord Lyon King of Arms of Scotland, her husband took the name of MacDougall in lieu of Thomson (officially changed 21 May 1953), their main residence becoming Dunollie Castle, Oban. The practice, however, continued as Leslie Grahame-Thomson & Associates. In the early 1960s an office opened at 2 Shore Street, Oban and by the late 1960s the Edinburgh office was being run down. MacDougall never completely retired, maintaining a small specialist practice from Dunollie from 1972 or 1973 until he died on 3 June 1974. In the last few years of his life he was working on a book on Dunollie and the Clan MacDougall, but it is unclear whether this ever reached publication. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 6, Ainslie Place, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | After 1950 | c. 1970(?) | | | 2, Shore Street, Oban, Argyll, Scotland | Business | 1967 * | | | | Dunollie Castle, Oban, Argyll, Scotland | Business | 1972 or 1973 | 1974 | |
