Thanks, SFA. I have to admit that this is an irksome one. Sandy's birth registration image on Scotland's People actually shows no middle name whatsoever. The widely-used 'Lochian' variant emanated from long-ago correspondence with Stateside soccer historian Colin Jose; and previous to your post I'd ...

According to a stray mention in an 1886 edition of the Edinburgh Evening News, it is/was "near Bathgate". Two other near contemporaneous mentions on the BNA site of other Durhamstown Rangers fixtures, but not the Hibs game.

Sunday Post, 11.9.1949; p13, mentions forthcoming benefit game v Clyde for Dumbarton centre-half Bobby DONALDSON.

Sincere thanks, Robert.

Both communications duly acknowledged. Apols for delayed response: exigencies of my partner's birthday intervened.
