Bio Notes: Donald James MacDonald was born on 18 January 1912, the son of Donald MacDonald, telegraph linesman, and his wife Jessie MacKay. He was elected a student member of the RIBA in 1936 and continued to be so until 1940. He broke off being a member presumably for war service and re-joined the RIBA in 1944. He was still a student member in 1948 but is no longer listed in 1950-51. He seems to have sstudied at the School of Architecture in Aberdeen. According to Galletly's list he was awarded his diploma in 1946 and was elected ARIBA in 1947. He is described as a 'retired architect' in the death register so must have continued to practise.

MacDonald died on 23 September 1993 in Raigmore Hospital, Inverness. He was survived by his wife Annie Mary Finlay.
