About the author

William Ferguson was a Scottish historian. He studied at Glasgow University and was awarded one of the Snell fellowships that made it possible for students from Glasgow to continue their education at Oxford. After completing his second degree, Bill chose to return to Glasgow to do his doctorate, given that his interests were in Scottish History. He was awarded his Glasgow PhD in History for his thesis on “Electoral Law and Procedure” in Scotland after the 1707 union with England.

After his doctoral studies he found work as an Assistant Lecturer in History, moving from Glasgow to Edinburgh in 1954 when William Croft Dickinson was Professor of Scottish History, later winning promotion to Lecturer and Senior Lecturer.
