In Memoriam: Rt Hon Lord Coulsfield
Thu 3 March 2016
Edinburgh Law School is saddened to learn of the death of the Rt Hon Lord Coulsfield on 28 February.
Rt Hon John Taylor Cameron, Lord Coulsfield was an Edinburgh graduate and lectured at the Law School in Public Law from 1960-1964, remaining a close friend and supporter of the School until his death.
He was admitted to the Faculty in 1960, and took Silk in 1973. On being appointed a Senator of the College of Justice in 1987, he took the judicial title, Lord Coulsfield.
Lord Coulsfield sat with Lords Sutherland and MacLean at Kamp van Zeist in the Netherlands when Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi was convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
A service will be held at St Cuthbert's Parish Church, Lothian Road, Edinburgh, on Tuesday, March 8, at 2 pm, to which all friends are invited, to be followed by a private cremation.
Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
