Ray Megson

“Professionally he served his apprenticeship with Leith firm, Boyd Jameson and shortly after qualifying set up in practice on his own account in 1972 in a Frederick Street office, a bold step and one reflecting self assurance. With his trademark moustache and dashing appearance, he became a well known and familiar figure in courts throughout Scotland, his capability, command of his brief and eloquence earning him ‘the ear of the court’ and respect of colleagues.

“For a period he was President of the Faculty of Procurators of Midlothian and also a member of the Law Society’s Criminal Law Committee.

“In 1976 in Edinburgh he married Kim whom he met at a Wanderers social function and with whom he would spend more than 46 years of happy marriage, during which they had four children, Jason, Paula, Calum and Gregor. He was especially grateful to Kim for her exceptional support through latter health issues.”
