The Scotsman has published a full obituary of Douglas Story Dalgleish – solicitor, football club chairman and golf administrator – who passed away last month at the age of 91.

“Douglas Story Dalgleish, who has died peacefully aged 91, was a well known Glasgow solicitor, a past president of the Scottish Golf Union, and a former chairman of Dumbarton Football Club.

“Douglas’s father was Superintendent of Parks for Dalmuir Council, and Douglas was brought up in the gate house of the Old Dalnottar Cemetery. He attended primary school in Gavinburn, continuing on to what was referred to as Clydebank High School at Dumbarton Academy, Clydebank High School itself having been closed due to the war. During his school years he was active in the Boys Brigade, serving as an officer, and playing for their football team. In March 1941, as a teenager, he experienced the wartime Blitz in Clydebank.”
