I'm looking for any family history information on this man who died in Victoria, BC on 23rd February 2009.
In particular a photgraph of the man himself, or of his headstone, would be fantastic.
This is for a WW2 book I am writing. Orginally from Aberdeen, Scotland, Hamish was POW in Germany and went on to become one of the leading figures in post-war Scottish, and then Canadian, legal circles.
See obituary

Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

You can use Scotlands People to look up his birth. His birth cert will give his parents names & mothers maiden name which will enable you to research his ancestry
If he married in Scotland - you can use the same site to get details
