VICTORIAN BEGINNINGS
In 1856 Alexander Graham returned to his native Crieff on completion of Law Classes in Edinburgh and set up in business. He built a flourishing practice, became Town Clerk in 1880 and also served as Clerk to a number of the old School Boards. On his death in 1885, the business was carried on by Malcolm Finlayson, and the name “Graham and Finlayson” was used from then on. Mr. Finlayson, who came from Blackford, also trained in Edinburgh and was Provost of Crieff for 12 years. The legal practice was carried on into the 20th Century by succeeding partners – the current partners being Robert Bolton and David Smart.
