| Activity | Christie and Ferguson, solicitors, originated in the practice of Alexander MacDonald, solicitor in Portree on the Isle of Skye and also of his successor, the partnership MacDonald and Fraser, which in turn emerged from the practice of Alexander Macdonald, solicitor (1840-1899) who followed in the footsteps of his father, Harry Macdonald, writer. Alexander Macdonald was Skye's only practising lawyer for many years. |
