My wife, Alison Blamire, who has died aged 66, was an architect, teacher and artist. Alison was one of very few female principals in private practice in Scotland. Born in Edinburgh, Alison was the first child of Stuart Harris, an architect, and Catherine Maciver, an artist. In 1980 Alison gained a master’s in architecture from the University of Oregon, where she later taught for a while. Her final working passion was the Causey, an urban realm project next to Arcade Architects’ old offices in West Crosscauseway.
