Angus Graham, the businessman and philanthropist who majority-funded a new £1m community library in the Stirlingshire village of Strathblane, has died at the age of 86.
His son, Major General Simon Graham, who has just retired as head of British Army Reserves, said his father had passed away peacefully at home on November 2 - but to the end had remained as ‘sharp as a pin’, keenly interested as much in world news as events in his beloved village. Angus Graham trained as a chartered accountant and worked for a number of companies in several parts of the world including France and the US.
Angus Graham had always wanted to do ‘something special’ for Strathblane and in 2019 he approached the local Community Development Trust offering to fund a new library to replace the deteriorating 40-year-old portacabin facility operated by Stirling Council.
