Biography

Haddow took a degree in law from the University of Edinburgh, and as one of Glasgow's most senior accountants, he was appointed Lord Dean of Guild of the Merchants House of Glasgow (Glasgow's "second citizen" after the Lord Provost) and served on the City's council. In spite of this he lived in Woodlands, Falkirk and was Honorary President of the Stirlingshire Conservative and Unionist Party Association.

Haddow married Jean Howie, daughter of Thomas W. Howie, and together they had one daughter, Barbara. Jean Howie's uncle was Depute Town Clerk of Glasgow.

gollark: Why would god care about humans so much?

gollark: What? That adds more complexity for no gain. It's a worse model.

gollark: It is entirely valid to say "we don't know". It's not valid to say "we don't know, so let's just postulate yet ANOTHER step in this process with no evidence".

gollark: A god of some sort *could* exist, but there isn't good evidence for them.

gollark: I mean, most of the "gods" we think about are suspiciously humanlike. And human minds are complicated. The universe is complicated, but easier to describe; people have it down onto T-shirts now (described in very dense mathy notation).
