Richard Allan McDougall

[rannoch]

My grandfather-born Jedburgh 1870-son of Provost J McDougall.
Became lawyer-where would he have studed? Not university-was there a society of Procurators where I could find record of study? His name appears in a Hawick Trade directory in ?1899-but nothing before-he would be 29 by that time.was in Glasgow but returned to Hawick?? in 1905-1907 where my mother and aunt were born. Then went to Glasgow-and later founded Allan McDougall & Co SSC and was Crown Agent.

Local historian's knowledge would be most useful for contact-trying to assemble data about him
