Tributes have been paid to Ian Balfour, a scion of the Edinburgh law firm Balfour + Manson, who has died aged 89.
His grandfather cofounded the firm in 1887 and he remained active after retiring as senior partner in 1998 and, until late last year, was working as joint auditor for Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
Balfour was born in Edinburgh in 1932. He started his education at Edinburgh Academy in 1938, but was evacuated during the war to Hamilton, Ontario, with his mother and his brother William where they lived with family.
