Ian Smith Watson

Published on 25/10/2021

WATSON - Ian Smith It is with great sadness that the family of Mr Ian Smith Watson announces his passing on 17th October 2021, at the age of 67. Ian passed away in Lochgilphead and will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Nikki; his four daughters Jennifer, Victoria, Chloe and Alexandra; his stepchildren Iain, Claire and Jamie; his grandchildren Isabella and Riley; and step grandchildren Seonaidh, Ailidh, Marsaili, Sam, Braegha and Sandi. He was fondly referred to as "Pater" and "Papa Ian". Ian was a Solicitor & Notary Public for over 40 years, and former Tribunal Judiciary Judge. His passion for the law was infectious and resulted in his daughter Jennifer following him into the profession. It was well known that one of his greatest joys was salmon fishing, and he regularly took his family and friends on fishing trips. Ian was a unique character who was fond of a "rusty nail". A wonderful, caring man who will be missed by all. Funeral service will be held on Monday 1st November at 10.45am at Daldowie Crematorium, Broomhouse, 17 Hamilton Road, Uddingston, Glasgow, G71 7RU.

I was one of Ian's clients. He helped me through a very difficult time in my life and was extremely supportive. I am not sure what I would have done without him. He was always approachable even when busy, which he usually was, his dedication to his profession was 100%. I will miss him very much and am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Rest in peace, Ian and thank you for everything, Vivienne

My passion for salmon fishing was established through my friendship with Ian. We have over the years shared so many wonderful times together on the river where his knowledge and enthusiasm created unforgettable moments.I will miss his humour ,which was infectious,his sociability, and his kindness.I will always value him as the closest of friends and will not forget him whenever a dram is partaken of,to start a day on the river.

I worked with Ian for many years as a medical tribunal member at Stirling and elsewhere. He was my favourite judge to sit with, I enjoyed his stories and his chocolate biscuits! In the tribunal he was so fair and efficient. I was so sorry when he retired last year as I had hoped to sit with him post COVID before my own retrial and I was of course devastated to hear of his death. My sincere sympathy to all the family of whom he spoke so often. I hope you may be comforted by your many happy memories of him
