Denham Macdougall was born near Helensburgh on the Firth of Clyde in 1950. He was educated at a public school in the Perthshire countryside and studied English and philosophy at the University of Strathclyde. The first 15 years of his career were spent in the engineering industry in London, mainly with London Transport’s workshop, where they make components for the Underground system’s rolling stock. He was drawn towards industrial relations and held a number of elected posts with the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers. In 1988 he relocated to Scotland with his Anglo-Argentine wife Susan, where they settled in rural Lanarkshire. A vacancy with a community development project in Blantyre near Glasgow saw the start of his career with the Social Work Department.
