He took the 5-year diploma course from 1933-39 at Edinburgh College of Art and for some of that period, 1936-37, worked simultaneously in the office of Laird & Napier. During his student years he travelled in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire (July 1935), the Rhine district of Germany (1937), Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Stockholm (1938) and Parish in (1939). He was awarded a town planning scholarship at Edinburgh College of Art but he was unable to take this up because of the outbreak of the Second World War.
He took a post as assistant with Leslie Grahame Thomson around 1946 (he had been living in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire prior to this). He later moved to work in South Africa. In Port Elizabeth he was a partner in his own practice, Logan & Long. In 1956 he was elected ARIAS. By 1970 he had returned to England and was working for Messrs Fuller Hall & Foulsham in Hemel Hempstead. However he resigned his membership of the RIBA in 1980 and seems to have been back in South Africa by this date. | 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 | 1946 * | | | | Kenilworth, Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, Scotland | Private | c. 1946 | | | | 78, Falcon Avenue, Edinburgh, Scotland | Private | c. 1946 | | | | 220, Water Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa | Private | 1955 * | | | | 801 NBS Building, Main Street, Port Elizabeth, South Africa | Business | 1960 * | | | | 53, Marloes, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England | Business | 1970 * | | | | 406 Villa d'Este, Park Drive, Port Elizabeth, South Africa | Private | 1980 * | | |
